Overview
- General manager John Lynch said on KNBR the team will make it “very attractive” for Robert Saleh to remain in San Francisco.
- Saleh is expected to be a sought-after candidate in the 2026 hiring cycle, with current openings reported for the Giants and Titans.
- Saleh has said he aims to be a head coach again but is not rushing and enjoys his current role with the 49ers.
- Despite season-ending injuries to Nick Bosa, Fred Warner and rookie Mykel Williams, the defense ranks roughly 18th in yards allowed and 11th in points allowed.
- Any decision is likely to follow the postseason and Saleh’s assessment of job quality, as the 49ers prioritize their playoff push.
