Jaguars head coach Liam Coen had a beef with Robert Saleh when Jacksonville faced the 49ers last season, but things appear to have calmed down ahead of Saleh\u2019s first season as the Titans\u2019 head coach. <\/p>\n

Saleh said that Coen and the Jaguars had \u201ca really advanced<\/a> signal stealing-type system\u201d that they deployed to their advantage ahead of a September game and Coen made it clear on the field that he didn\u2019t appreciate Saleh\u2019s comments<\/a> after the 26-21 Jaguars win. Saleh never accused the Jaguars of doing anything illegal, but said after the game that his choice of words could have been better because he meant it as a compliment to Jacksonville\u2019s preparation. <\/p>\n

At the league meetings in Arizona on Tuesday, Saleh said that the two men have moved past the issue. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re good,\u201d Saleh said, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. \u201cI know the NFL probably wants more of a story<\/a>, but there\u2019s no story. I have an appreciation for Liam. Like I said, I used the wrong word when I was trying to give him a compliment, but all that\u2019s under the bridge. We\u2019ve talked and put it behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coen said that the incident has been fodder for teasing from other coaches around the league and the two men will get a pair of chances to renew their acquaintance during the 2026 season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaguars head coach Liam Coen had a beef with Robert Saleh when Jacksonville faced the 49ers last season,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":556878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-556877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=556877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/556877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/556878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=556877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=556877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=556877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
