Coaches Separated After Jaguars Upset as Liam Coen Confronts 49ers’ Robert Saleh

The dust-up followed Saleh’s midweek remark describing Jacksonville’s legally run signal-gathering as advanced, a characterization Coen clearly disliked despite assurances no rules were broken.

Overview

  • Broadcast video showed Jaguars players restraining Coen and 49ers staff holding Saleh back as the coaches exchanged words after Jacksonville’s 26-21 win.
  • Coen was heard telling Saleh to "keep my name out of your mouth," according to field-level video captured by local media.
  • Saleh had told reporters days earlier that Jacksonville employs a legal but sophisticated sign-reading approach, emphasizing he was not alleging anything illegal.
  • Coen downplayed the confrontation in his postgame remarks, calling it "not a big deal," while 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saleh meant it as a compliment and that Coen "shouldn’t be that sensitive."
  • Jacksonville improved to 3-1 by handing San Francisco its first loss, forcing four turnovers as Brock Purdy threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.
