Report: Titans hiring 49ers' Robert Saleh as next head coach...

On Monday, All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner was asked about the possibility of losing Saleh to a head coaching job for the second time in his career. "It would suck a lot. It would suck a lot," Warner said with a laugh. "Of course, I always think about Saleh the man, and the relationship that we have. And of course, I want him to have that opportunity again. "But selfishly, of course, I want him to stay here as well and have a chance at going and winning this thing next season," Warner added. "But we'll see. Time will tell." For those wondering, the 49ers are not eligible to receive a compensatory draft pick for losing Saleh, as minority candidates must have been with a team for at least two seasons to qualify. San Francisco's defense, plagued by injuries, finished the regular season ranked 20th in total yards allowed and 13th in points allowed. The 49ers reached the playoffs with a 12–5 record, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round, and were eliminated by the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round.
