Based on both Lynch & Shanahan wanting Fangio as their DC, I think Saleh's nothing more than a temporary fill. Had the Bears not blocked a Fangio interview, VF would be our DC now. So, I doubt they'll change the defense. It only makes good sense. Shanahan got started hiring coaches very late, so a number of the guys he potentially wanted simply weren't available. Next year's staff could look considerably different than this year's.
That doesn't make any sense. If they're waiting for Fangio (which is ridiculous) why wouldn't they at least hire a DC that knows Fangio's system better like Ed Donatell who's been coaching with him the last 6 years. Saleh was with him for 1 year in Houston as a Defensive intern (the only year he hasn't been in a 4-3). We're definitely running the Falcons, Jags, Seahawks 4-3 imo. Love me some 3-4 though .
