Don't sleep on that guy Trent Balkee,... he likes to break up the party regards the 49ers before it even gets started. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if Balkee hired Saleh
Make Saleh the highest paid NFL Assistant Coach; not only DC, with full authority in defensive hires; but offer him Associate Head Coach; and write in his contract if Kyle leaves he will be promoted to HC. So, Saleh wouldn’t just be a DC with full authority but AHC means more money; and if he’s making let’s say 2.5M on 49ers, give or take; that’s be hard to walk away from. As most head coaches get around 4M unless you’re a proven commodity, then you get more dollars. People just want job security, and respect; 49ers give him both, he’ll stick around for a few years at least.
I think it is a great sign Saleh is even interviewing, shows he is interested in this job and sees the potential to coach a contender. Jacksonville and the Raiders are dumpster fires
Saleh is preferred of course. But I’m not hating on the Townsend interview if can’t get Saleh. Lions DBs were much better this year and we have seen successful players be good coordinators, example Demeco Ryan’s.
And that’s the hard part, they have multiple choices (bring back Robert but there’s no guarantee that he ends up back in San Francisco or sign Deshea wait too long and Deshea might head elsewhere) That part must suck for the team they’re caught between a rock and a hard place
This is the most intriguing off season in a very long time. *[If Saleh goes for a HC job, he may lose the chance to be a winner in the SB as a DC for us...] That's how I see it, he is going for the HC position. So, I don't see him picking Deshea or any lieutenant in other organizations... So, what happens next is anybody's guess, in other words, Go fish. *My thoughts on the subject of being spoiled.... We had it so good when he was our DC. Hey David good report this am with the Standard....
There are so many of the faithful who think we’ll be Superbowl contenders next year. Saleh ain’t gonna change that … only thing that will give us a hope is hitting big on the draft and free agency!
If he wants the job, lock in Saleh. He's a know quantity and it gives the 49ers a possible successor to Shanahan, should things go sideways in the future...
Why would Robert Saleh sign a contract before completing his interviews with other teams for the head coach position? It’s possible that the Niners may sign someone before Saleh is fully prepared to make a decision. Townsend would be a positive sign. I anticipate more interviews, and I firmly believe that one will be named within the next two weeks. PS I think Saleh will be the raiders new head coach. It seems that the owner loves ex Niners personal.
The 49ers can hire him as defensive coordinator, but write in his contract if he’s offered a head coaching job, he can leave at any time; so even if it’s only for a week then so be it; but at least they could get him under contract and if he leaves, we can have somebody like Gus Bradley waiting in the wings.
Isnt Saleh still getting paid by the Jets next year? I believe they would still pay and the 49ers would only have to pay any difference if any? It would be a huge win to get to him back.
What I'll never understand is using religion when it comes to sports...just sounds a little insane. Praying to football outcomes is crazy as you can get.
Dont think we need another former DB coach. We fired 2 in 2 seasons. Our defense is at it best when we get a former linebacker coach to run it. They understand the importance of the front 7.
Saleh was not without his own problems as 49er defensive coordinator not the least of which was getting the D off the field. His last 2 seasons were high caliber but he resisted the move to the wide 9
Kubiak and McDaniels are NOT the only OC's that have been under Shanahan and Lynch Don't forget about Mike LaFleur, Matt LaFleur's brother He was the OC the year that Saleh was DC and the 49ers went to the Super Bowl against the Cheifs 2019 And I believe that year McDaniels was the RUN GAME coordinator
LaFleur was never the offensive coordinator with Kyle Shanahan. He started as wide receivers coach and then was promoted to passing game coordinator. Then he left for the Jets.
They can’t be impulsive this time around (just hire a random DC to get things done) they have to be thorough with who they choose (they know Saleh very well and he probably has grown since then, they probably like Deshea cause he knows his stuff) They probably know Robert might end up being a head coach somewhere else so they can’t just wait around for him they have to choose wisely (wait too long and they might miss the opportunity to sign a DC, sign them too early and that can backfire, they need to find middle ground)
The Jaguars job is only for someone desperate to land a HC job. I don't think that is Saleh. He can rejoin the 49ers, take the Jets stink off and have better HC opportunities in a year or two.
No person in their right mind with anything going on would consider the Raiders. Horrible organization that Brady cant fix as long as there is a owner named Davis.
I have never understood how anyone could like the Raiders. A bottom tier team with a horrible owner and a history of bad decisions and mostlly losing except for a couple years here and there.
@559fishing9 Once again, it's up to BOTH parties. Fit must be right. it's not just about money. It's personnel, scheme, vision, experience, philosophy, etc.
Blank check to him. Forget the Raiders, they are a lost cause. Jaguar’s possibly will take Salah. Hope not as the Raiders could really use him. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the lions, Vikings to end their seasons before approaching their coaches.
A possible pathway for rebuilding. Trade the 11th pick overall to Cinci for the 16th pick overall and the 80th and 117th Trade the 16th overall pick to Baltimore for the 27th pick overall and the 59th and 211th Trade Nick Bosa for a first and second round pick and use them to pick up another Edge rusher and DT. Trade McCaffery for a two and a three and use them for a RB and a TE Let Hargrave, Samuels and Trent Williams go to free up more salary cap.. 1 DE 1 OT 2 OT 2 DT 2 DT 2 RB 3 QG 3 OG 3 LB 3 LB 4 S 4 DE 4 RB 6 FB/TE 6 LB 7 DT 7 LB 7 K........The three first round picks the management gave up for Lance could have easily given the 49ers all of these picks above normal picks and more. Being the main reason I would fire Shanahan. Three first round picks can be parlayed into a lot of picks. Loosing them has led to the 49ers needing to rebuild, which more times than not requires sacrifice of key players like Bosa and McCaffery, like Dallas did with Hershel Walker. 1Shemar Stewart.....................DE 1 Cameron Williams................OT 2 Josh Conerly.........................OT 2 Alfred Collins........................DT 2 Donte Corleone.................... DT 2 Nick Singleton.......................RB 3 Carson Beck..........................QB 3 Tate Ratledge …....................

I’m glad you don’t make the decision because gosh damn the niners would be like the raiders. Trading the best rb and de, deebo isn’t productive like bosa and cmc has been but cmc is injury prone because they won’t rotate their rbs. Just draft rookies and stop overpaying players that’s all they need to do
im confused why we want saleh we had 1 season out of the 4 he was with us that was even positive and it was 2019. while 17,18,and20 were negative by 4+ loses. just saying
Give Saleh whatever he wants! He's a proven DC winner with SF! Sign him NOW!
They arent interviewing him to decide if he's who they want, they are interviewing other people incase saleh takes a HC job elsewhere
Don't sleep on that guy Trent Balkee,... he likes to break up the party regards the 49ers before it even gets started. I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if Balkee hired Saleh
@VictorianForge no one wants to go to Jacksonville.
We need an adult to finally coach again since kyle is a nepo baby
@DEPORTKYLE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kyle is not a Nepo baby 😂 he's genuinely a brilliant offensive mind, you are out of your mind
Thanks for coming out Townsend but we found our guy
Make Saleh the highest paid NFL Assistant Coach; not only DC, with full authority in defensive hires; but offer him Associate Head Coach; and write in his contract if Kyle leaves he will be promoted to HC.
So, Saleh wouldn’t just be a DC with full authority but AHC means more money; and if he’s making let’s say 2.5M on 49ers, give or take; that’s be hard to walk away from. As most head coaches get around 4M unless you’re a proven commodity, then you get more dollars.
People just want job security, and respect; 49ers give him both, he’ll stick around for a few years at least.
This is the type of deep dive in learning that takes one from a casual fan to a knowledgeable one. This is a smart video.
Good thing Niners front office are interviewing earlier than before.
It feels like niners are checking boxes so they can quickly hire Saleh
I think it is a great sign Saleh is even interviewing, shows he is interested in this job and sees the potential to coach a contender. Jacksonville and the Raiders are dumpster fires
I can’t see Saleh going to the jags and working with Trent Baalke. LoL. I hope he comes back to the Niners.
This
No one is loyal when it comes to money. Let's GOOOOO NINERS.
Kyle has to allow that growth to come on in.
Salah will come back to 49ners because it is the best job in the league come next season with the teams they are going to play❤
Saleh would be great. Pay him near Hc money and get it done. There is no salary cap on staff
Saleh is preferred of course. But I’m not hating on the Townsend interview if can’t get Saleh. Lions DBs were much better this year and we have seen successful players be good coordinators, example Demeco Ryan’s.
🙏to whoever they pick.
Both seem great choices
And that’s the hard part, they have multiple choices (bring back Robert but there’s no guarantee that he ends up back in San Francisco or sign Deshea wait too long and Deshea might head elsewhere)
That part must suck for the team they’re caught between a rock and a hard place
So they can become another scapegoat for Kyle!!
I love having Saleh in order to det a couple of the Jets defensive FA
This is the most intriguing off season in a very long time. *[If Saleh goes for a HC job, he may lose the chance to be a winner in the SB as a DC for us...] That's how I see it, he is going for the HC position. So, I don't see him picking Deshea or any lieutenant in other organizations... So, what happens next is anybody's guess, in other words, Go fish.
*My thoughts on the subject of being spoiled.... We had it so good when he was our DC.
Hey David good report this am with the Standard....

Just an FYI, the Raiders need a GM first before they could find a head coach so that’s gonna take a little while. I don’t think Saleh’s gonna wait.
Let’s blame all but self Kyle!!!!
But how long will saleh stay before he is offered another job
Isnt Saleh still getting paid by the Jets next year? I believe they would still pay and the 49ers would only have to pay any difference if any? It would be a huge win to get to him back.
This Guy Townsend makes me think of ray rhodes same kind of swagger and tough demeanor
Townsend could be great just like DeMeco was. Salah is the favorite but don't sleep on Townsemd or Ulbrich.
I wonder how Saleh and Staley will work out. Hope Staley is out the door. 🙏🏼
No Brainer Saleh! (if he wants to come back)
Do they really have to interview Salah at this point?
Praying everything went well
What I'll never understand is using religion when it comes to sports...just sounds a little insane. Praying to football outcomes is crazy as you can get.
Dont think we need another former DB coach. We fired 2 in 2 seasons. Our defense is at it best when we get a former linebacker coach to run it. They understand the importance of the front 7.
Thats why I said Antonio Pierce should get some consideration now that he is available.
Saleh's going to get some interviews for HC positions. There are at least half a dozen experienced DC's available.
I hope Jim Leonhard at least gets an interview for DC
Saleh isn't a savior..We still need the talent on the field.
Saleh will help.And also help to keep Greenlaw maybe.
Saleh was not without his own problems as 49er defensive coordinator not the least of which was getting the D off the field. His last 2 seasons were high caliber but he resisted the move to the wide 9
Kubiak and McDaniels are NOT the only OC's that have been under Shanahan and Lynch
Don't forget about Mike LaFleur, Matt LaFleur's brother
He was the OC the year that Saleh was DC and the 49ers went to the Super Bowl against the Cheifs
2019
And I believe that year McDaniels was the RUN GAME coordinator
LaFleur was never the offensive coordinator with Kyle Shanahan. He started as wide receivers coach and then was promoted to passing game coordinator. Then he left for the Jets.
I was routing for Saleh. Time to come back where he belongs
Whats Saleh's record with the 49ers?
Why would you need to interview Saleh again?
They can’t be impulsive this time around (just hire a random DC to get things done) they have to be thorough with who they choose (they know Saleh very well and he probably has grown since then, they probably like Deshea cause he knows his stuff)
They probably know Robert might end up being a head coach somewhere else so they can’t just wait around for him they have to choose wisely (wait too long and they might miss the opportunity to sign a DC, sign them too early and that can backfire, they need to find middle ground)
Isn't that what got us in this position already? Doing things too damn quickly!
Just stop 🛑 ! Playing games . Saleh is the true runner up !
I think they need to do everything.They can to Bring back sala 😊😊
The Jaguars job is only for someone desperate to land a HC job. I don't think that is Saleh. He can rejoin the 49ers, take the Jets stink off and have better HC opportunities in a year or two.
Hire him. And fire Brandon Staley.
Raiders. 🤣 If those are the two teams Saleh is interviewing for HC, then no worry. Unless some other teams come in to interview him.
No person in their right mind with anything going on would consider the Raiders. Horrible organization that Brady cant fix as long as there is a owner named Davis.
I have never understood how anyone could like the Raiders. A bottom tier team with a horrible owner and a history of bad decisions and mostlly losing except for a couple years here and there.
No idea why he’d want to coach under Baalke anyway
Townsend will be the guy. Saleh won't turn down a HC job.
After the DC hire, let’s draft The Penn State tight end Tyler Warren or their all American DE
They don’t need a TE since they already got some rookies in but they need to focus on the oline, dbs and dls
I thought we can’t talk to Saleh till Packers are done?
I’d take Deshea. Saleh is too conservative when it comes to the blitz package.
Lou Anarumo or saleh.
Pay saleh now please!
They need another LB if Greenlaw leaves!
Winters can't tackle very well and we all know about Campbell .
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Saleh or Allen!!!
Get Robert and Fire K S and you will see the Difference
Well we know what Saleh can do because this is almost the exact group he had so don't hire someone you will regret hiring.
49ers play to much pay Salah and promise him full control of the deffense personal coaching everything
Why do you think they're playing? Both parties have to accept. There's going to be vacant HC jobs for him to test.
@eswrg happened last year didn't make strong enough offers and all the people they interviewed signed somewhere else
@559fishing9 Once again, it's up to BOTH parties. Fit must be right. it's not just about money. It's personnel, scheme, vision, experience, philosophy, etc.
1. Dennis Allen 2. Jim Leonhard 3. Robert Saleh 4. Jeff Ulbrich 5. D'Anton Lynn
Good list. Saleh not automatic
Antonio Pierce need to be given some consideration now too.
Allen was terrible with Raiders and Saints. No higher than 6th
Jim Schwartz
interview Robert Saleh??? interview??? just tell him he's got the job if he's not taking any HC jobs!
Please get rid of the wide nine
We just didn't have the personnel to do it this year.
@zig6933 it's been figured out
@ lol no, if that was the case they would've figured that out as well wide zone. You need the players to do it. Nice try
Saleh has to babysit and do kyles job for him since he cant be a man
We scored 40pts on the Lions defense with a depleted offense plz don’t hire him.
Lions have like 6 defensive starters injured including their best player
@ so do we but I bet you’re happy Sorensen is gone.
Very true and they did give up a lot of points to several teams this year
Blank check to him. Forget the Raiders, they are a lost cause. Jaguar’s possibly will take Salah. Hope not as the Raiders could really use him. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the lions, Vikings to end their seasons before approaching their coaches.
The head coach is an issue guys
It would be GREAT to get Saleh back, but with our luck one dog shit team (RAIDERS) will hire him and will lose out.
Viking lost CAUSE of QB
A possible pathway for rebuilding.
Trade the 11th pick overall to Cinci for the 16th pick overall and the 80th and 117th
Trade the 16th overall pick to Baltimore for the 27th pick overall and the 59th and 211th
Trade Nick Bosa for a first and second round pick and use them to pick up another Edge rusher and DT.
Trade McCaffery for a two and a three and use them for a RB and a TE
Let Hargrave, Samuels and Trent Williams go to free up more salary cap..
