Packers hiring former Patriots defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington as a defensive assistant coach on Matt LaFleur's staff

Former Jets coach Robert Saleh spent the second half of last season as a consultant focusing on the Packers’ offense.

Robert Saleh wasted little time after being fired from the New York Jets last fall amid a poor showing throughout the season. He quickly began working with the Green Bay Packers' defense following his dismissal, and now the Super Bowl -winning coach is back with his former employer.

The Green Bay Packers will almost certainly lose Robert Saleh, but his likely landing spot is the best-case scenario.

The San Francisco 49ers defense will be led by a very familiar face in 2025.Robert Saleh, who led Kyle Shanahan's defense from 2017 to '20 before becoming head coach of the New York Jets, will return to the Bay Area in an effort to help the 49ers get back on track,

Robert Saleh’s encore as 49ers defensive coordinator took on more likelihood as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders hired others to fill their head coach vacancies.

A day after The Athletic reported that the San Francisco 49ers were about to stage a reunion with Robert Saleh, the club announced Friday that the former New York Jets head coach is returning to his old job as defensive coordinator.

Robert Saleh cannot personally create turnovers, rush the passer or stop the run. His return as the 49ers’ D-coordinator is no guarantee of success.

After an exhaustive 16-day search, the San Francisco 49ers have finally settled on their next defensive coordinator. And just as head coach Kyle Shanahan desired, that job now belong to Robert Saleh.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, who brought Getsy aboard during the second half of the 2024 season as a defensive consultant, is re-hiring Getsy for a full-time role on the offensive side of the ball — although not for his previous job as quarterbacks coach.

Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen has pulled out of the running for the Jaguars coaching job, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday, with former Jets coach Robert Saleh now one of two remaining candidates who has been scheduled for a second interview.
