Things got a little chippy between San Fransicio 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen after the 9ers lost to the Jags, 26-21.
Saleh was caught on film saying something nasty to Coen, and the moment went viral on social media.
Reportedly, Saleh said to Coen: “Keep my name out of your f*cking mouth.”
“I’ll f*ck your world up. You don’t wanna f*ck with me. I will f*cking end your f*cking life.”
Whoa. What exactly caused this little moment between the two?
Saleh accused Coen and the Jags of legally sign-stealing, which obviously did not go over well.
But Coen didn’t seem to make a big deal out of it.
"Not a big deal," Coen said. "Just keep that between us."
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t seem to make a big deal out of it either.
"I don't think you should be that sensitive about it, but it is what it is," Shanahan said. "I'm not too worried about it."
"We don't totally care if coaches are pissed off," Shanahan said. "It has no effect on the game. I think Saleh was paying them a big compliment in what they're good at doing. It's not illegal. He said [there's] nothing illegal about it. I think you use the word sign stealing and what the headlines get with those type of words, I think the perception of that becomes wrong."
Well, apparently, Saleh didn’t feel that way because he was unavailable for comment after the game, but he clearly was threatening Coen as if he had some dirt on the Jaguars' head coach that he would reveal if Coen didn’t leave him alone.
So it sounds like there is more to the story than meets the eye.
