"I own the fact that I probably used the wrong choice of words, but however you want to word it, I mean, they're really, really good at putting their players in position to be successful. As coaches, we're always chasing leverage. They're trying to have winning leverage. We're trying to take leverage away. Everyone in the league is trying to find every avenue they can."
"The intent was to say exactly what I just said, that I think [Coen] is doing a really nice job, which I do, Saleh said. That football team is playing and taking on his personality. They're playing violently on the offensive line and their running backs are running really hard. I think they're doing a really, really nice job and I just wanted to let him know that I appreciate the way he's going about his business with his football team."
Robert Saleh apologized for using a poor choice of words during a heated sideline confrontation with Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen after the Jaguars' 26-21 win. Saleh told Coen he would 'end your life and fuck your world up,' and Coen responded, 'Keep my name out of your fucking mouth.' The incident followed Saleh's earlier comment that the Jaguars were good at legally stealing signs; Saleh later described those comments as a compliment and praised the Jaguars' preparation, physical play and coaching. Both teams hold 3-1 records. Kyle Shanahan responded to the incident with a laugh when asked about coaches fighting.
