49ers’ Robert Saleh regrets lead-up to ‘end your life’ confrontation with Jags coach Liam Coen | San Francisco 49ers
The defensive coordinator of San Francisco 49ers, Robert Saleh, says that he used a bad choice of words in the accumulation of an animated confrontation with the head coach of Jacksonville Jaguars, Liam Coen, Sunday.
The two had to be separated after the Jaguars 26-21 victory in the 49ers on Sunday. Saleh told Coen that he “would end your life” and “Fuck Your World Up”. Coen told Saleh: “Keep my name out of your fucking mouth”.
The incident came a few days after Saleh said the jags were good to legally steal panels with opposing teams.
Tuesday, Saleh said he had noted these comments as a compliment.
“In my heart, really, I was trying to make a compliment,” said Saleh. “I have the fact that I have probably used the bad choice of words, but even if you want to say it, I mean, they are really, really good to put their players in a success. As trainers, we always drive the lever effect. They try to have a winning lever effect. We try to take a lever. Give their players a chance to be in a successful position. »»
The two teams experienced successful departures for the season and had identical 3-1 records. Saleh said he had been impressed by the Jags campaign so far.
“The intention was to say exactly what I just said, that I think [Coen] Makes a very good job, which I do, “said Saleh.” This football team plays and takes their personality. They play violently on the offensive line and their runners work very hard. I think they are doing a really, really nice job and I just wanted to let him know that I appreciate the way he does his business with his football team. “”
The 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was invited on Tuesday which coaches of the NFL could beat Saleh, who played a tight at university, in a fight. Shanahan laughed and said that he would choose the Lions Dan Campbell head coach, who was listed at 6 feet 5 inches and 265 LB during his career as a player from the NFL, “on many people”.
Shanahan added: “Saleh is too nice generally but seemed that someone touched an agreement the other day. I don’t think there were fights. It was a bit comic now to rethink him.”
