Robert Saleh ‘over the moon happy’ as Titans’ next coach, again leaving 49ers

SANTA CLARA – Robert Saleh is again leaving his job as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator for an NFL head-coaching post, this time with the Tennessee Titans.

“He wanted to make sure it was right and not just any job,” Saleh’s agent, Doug Hendrickson, told the Bay Area News Group. “He felt really good where this team is going. He’s over the moon happy.”

Five years ago, Saleh split for the New York Jets, for whom he went 20-36 before being fired five games into the 2024 season and returning last offseason to the 49ers.
