Saleh has led an extremely physical San Francisco defense that’s played well this season despite the team suffering some devastating injuries. He’s been defensive coordinator for the 49ers since 2017.
Before that, Saleh was the Jaguars linebackers coach for three seasons and spent time with the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans as an assistant and quality control coach.
Check back for more interview updates throughout the week.
