Robert Saleh returns to the San Francisco 49ers as defensive coordinator, following a successful tenure and his time coaching the New York Jets. While his re-hiring is seen as a strong move for the team's defense, he may leave for another head coach role after this season. This situation mirrors the previous transition when DeMeco Ryans stepped up, highlighting the crucial need for the 49ers to cultivate a successor. Their recent efforts to find stable internal leadership have fallen short, prompting the urgency for a designated DC-in-waiting to ensure continuity.
