Robert Saleh’s encore as 49ers defensive coordinator took on more likelihood as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders hired others to fill their head coach vacancies.

Robert Saleh left the Jacksonville Jaguars years ago to become the 49ers defensive coordinator. It appears he's returning to that job in the Bay Area.

The San Francisco 49ers have brought back Robert Saleh to once again be the team’s defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. This news, as first reported by Mike Silver of the Athletic, comes amid a bit of a farce surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars’ hunt for a new head coach.
