Saleh Returns: Titans Get Top Coach, Niners Gain Morris

0:00It's April 4th. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. Robert Salah is heading back to the head coaching spotlight this time with the Tennessee Titans. He just left his role as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers after one strong year, where he turned their defense around despite, losing key players like Nick Bosa and Fred Warner. Here this week at the NFL Annual Meeting in Arizona, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan opened up about the move. He admitted it stings to lose Salah, someone he's tight with and calls one of the league's top coaches, but he's thrilled. Salah gets another shot after what Shanahan sees as a raw deal in New York. Shanahan praised Salah's work in 2025 when the Niners jumped from mediocre against the run to 11 best and cut points allowed per. Team from 25.6 to 21.8. Fans and the team filled the pain, but they get it. Salah's dream was always to lead a squad again.

1:02To fill the gap, the Niners tap Rahim Morris as their next defensive coordinator, a solid pick that eases the transition. Meanwhile, Salah lands a Nashville with more tools than before, including potential franchise quarterback talent, plenty of salary cab room, and high, draft picks. This setup gives Salah real control, unlike his Jets days, boosting his odds for success. The Niners might even welcome him back if things don't click down south.
