San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was surprised to see his former defensive coordinator Robert Saleh back on the job market after an unceremonious firing as the New York Jets head coach by owner Woody Johnson — a dismissal that included reportedly being escorted from the facility by security. 'I sent him a text, but I haven't gotten to talk to him,' Shanahan told reporters this week. 'And yeah, I was pretty shocked.
And depending on the route or the run versus the pressure or the coverage. So, there's always a little bit of that, but you also have to trust your process.' Shanahan replaced Steve Wilks after one season with Sorenson soon after his team's Super Bowl loss to Kansas City, a defensive assistant already on San Francisco's staff.
