Liam Coen, Robert Saleh exchange words after Jaguars-49ers game

In the days leading up to Sunday’s game between the Jaguars and the 49ers, San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh praised the Jacksonville coaching staff for their ability to legally steal signals. However, Jaguars coach Liam Coen didn’t appreciate the implication behind Saleh’s comments.

After the game, Coen had some strong words for Saleh. Fortunately, he was steered away from what could have escalated into a much worse situation, especially if things had turned physical.

During his post-game press conference, Coen tried to downplay the incident, stating that he would “keep the exchange between us.” Meanwhile, Saleh was reportedly only intending the comment as a compliment, not as an accusation.

Despite Saleh’s intentions, Coen—who is known in some circles for having a short fuse—did not take it that way. Looking ahead, when Saleh next speaks to reporters, expect him to reiterate that his comment was meant as a compliment, not a suggestion that the Jaguars were breaking any rules.

Saleh is also likely to acknowledge that he should have chosen his words more carefully to avoid any connotation of cheating.
