US Edition49ers' Robert Saleh Leads List of New Coordinators for NFL Contenders
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 4 – The 49ers hired Robert Saleh to improve a defense that ranked 29th in scoring and tied for seventh-fewest takeaways during their 6-11 2024 season, officials said.
- Rehiring Robert Saleh, Kyle Shanahan replaced Nick Sorensen as defensive coordinator for the 49ers, who ranked 29th in scoring defense last season.
- After a 6-11 finish, the San Francisco 49ers defense faltered, going from 2019-22 dominance under Saleh and DeMeco Ryans to mediocrity in recent years.
- Detroit became the third team in 15 seasons to lose both coordinators, with John Morton leaving after one year and Kelvin Sheppard returning with Aidan Hutchinson healthy.
- Bringing Rams' wrinkles, Caley joins Houston after two seasons on Sean McVay’s staff, expected to aid quarterback C.J. Stroud.
- Cincinnati tapped AL Golden from Notre Dame as defensive coordinator, replacing Lou Anarumo after the Bengals regressed into the NFL's bottom 10 defenses.
