Saleh, Coen Clash After Jaguars Win as 49ers Coach Clarifies 'Legal' Signal Remark

Saleh now calls his midweek signal-reading remark a compliment, conceding a poor choice of words.

Overview

  • Broadcast video shows Jaguars coach Liam Coen confronting 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh after Jacksonville’s 26-21 win, with players and staff separating the two.
  • Coen was heard saying, “Keep my name out of your mouth,” during the on-field exchange; he later downplayed the incident and declined to share details.
  • Saleh told reporters he intended to praise Jacksonville’s advanced, within-the-rules signal-reading and said he used the wrong words to describe it.
  • 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan defended Saleh’s intent, emphasized that nothing alleged was illegal, and suggested Coen overreacted.
  • Some outlets cited more inflammatory quotes attributed to Saleh from a social-media post, but those remarks remain unverified and no league discipline or investigation has been reported.
