NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the 49ers interviewed former Green Bay Packers linebackers coach and new Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile

While they acted quickly in interviewing former New York Jets head coach and 49ers DC Robert Saleh, and Detroit Lions defensive backs coach Deshea Townsend, their search appears to have stalled. Now they’re running out of options.

Jets defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton and cornerbacks coach Tony Oden are also both under consideration for roles on Glenn’s staff, according to sources.

It’s been a long time coming, but Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets) are off to run their own franchises. Who they take with them is the next question, but what we do know right now is that Dan Campbell is tasked with replacing two of his closest confidants in the middle of a Super Bowl window.

According to multiple reports, the San Francisco 49ers are officially hiring former New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh as their new defensive coordinator.

Former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is off to Chicago to lead the Bears. Former defensive Aaron Glenn is now the head coach of the New York Jets. Both will be missed in Detroit, but Campbell and company must move forward with the assistants remaining. That process has already begun.

Saleh was fired as the Jets’ coach five games into this season and is now back with the 49ers, where he made his name in the NFL.

Saleh was previously the 49ers defensive coordinator from 2017–20 until taking the head coaching job with the New York Jets.

The San Francisco 49ers got their man as Robert Saleh is head back to the Bay Area for a second stint as defensive coordinator.

Until Robert Saleh has officially signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers, the rumors will continue to persist.
