— The pregame tiff between San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Jacksonville coach Liam Coen over accusations of “legal” sign stealing by the Jaguars spilled over into the postgame.
Coen could be seen yelling at Saleh as he was being held back by offensive lineman Robert Hainsey following Jacksonville’s 26-21 win over San Francisco on Sunday.
Coen was heard shouting “Keep my name out of your mouth” in a video posted by Action Sports Jax.
“No big deal,” Coen said in a postgame interview. “I’m just going to keep that between us right now. That’s it.”
It seemed like a bigger deal than that as the two coaches were yelling at each other as they walked off the field. Saleh had called Coen’s staff “elite” when it comes to stealing defensive signals — in a legal fashion.
Coen brushed aside those remarks when asked during the week and wouldn’t talk about it with the media after the game.
