49ers hiring Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator after Robert Saleh’s exit

The San Francisco 49ers are set to hire Raheem Morris as their new defensive coordinator after Robert Saleh left the team to become head coach of the Tennessee Titans. The 49ers will be looking for someone to repair the damage inflicted by injuries on key players Nick Bosa and Fred Warner during the 2025 season.

Morris, who coached in the NFC West previously with the Los Angeles Rams from 2020-2022, has a reputation for being a strong defensive coordinator. During his time with the Rams, Morris played a crucial role in helping the team win Super Bowl LVI under former head coach Sean McVay.

In Atlanta Falcons news, Kevin Stefanski has taken over as head coach of the Falcons after Raheem Morris was fired alongside general manager Terry Fontenot on January 4th. Falcons owner Arthur Blank stated that he wishes both Morris and Terry Fontenot well in their future endeavors but believes it is time for new leadership.

Saleh, who coached the 49ers' defense in 2025 before becoming head coach of the Titans, was announced as Saleh's replacement last week. Former Giants coach Brian Daboll has joined Saleh's staff as offensive coordinator, but the Titans have yet to name a defensive coordinator.
 
I think this change is like when life throws you curveballs 🌪️, and we gotta adapt. Raheem Morris taking over as DC for the 49ers shows us that sometimes it takes a fresh perspective to fix what's broken 💡. Injuries can be tough, but it's how we respond that matters - do we let them bring us down or use them as an opportunity to grow? 🌱
 
omg u guyz dont even know about Raheem Morris lol, he just got hired by 49ers and its like, huge news 🤯 they need him so bad after those injuries to Bosa and Warner, cant imagine how bad it was for them this season 😷 anyway, I heard from a friend of a friend (yes, thats a thing) that Raheem Morris is super good at his job, like he helped the Rams win Superbowl LVI under Sean McVay, dont even get me started on how impressive that is 🙌 anywayz, sounds like Kevin Stefanski is taking over the Falcons now, Arthur Blank says hi to Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot but its time for new leadership, yaaas bye Felicia 💁‍♀️
 
🏈💥😬 just heard that 49ers got new DC Raheem Morris 🤩👍 he was awesome with Rams and helped them win Super Bowl LVI 🏆🎉 hopefully he can help fix 49ers' defense which is hurtin' 😭 Nick Bosa and Fred Warner injured all season 😔. I'm excited to see how it turns out 💥👀. Meanwhile, Kevin Stefanski is leadin' Falcons now 🐦😃 and Arthur Blank wishes Raheem Morris luck on new job 👋💼 wish him best too 👍
 
Just heard about this news and I gotta say, the 49ers are in for a tough time without Saleh 🤕. They need someone like Raheem Morris to step up and lead their defense, 'specially with Bosa and Warner out injured. Morris has some solid experience under his belt, so that's a plus ⚡️. The question is, can he fix the damage done last season? It won't be easy, but I think it's worth a shot 🤔. On another note, it's crazy how quickly things changed in Atlanta, one week they had Morris and Fontenot, now Stefanski's at the helm 👋. Guess you never know what's gonna happen in the NFL 🏈!
 
Another coaching carousel 😒... I mean, it's just another example of how unstable the NFL is 🏈. I'm not surprised Raheem Morris got fired by the Falcons so quickly, he was only there for a few months 🤦‍♂️. And now he's getting hired by the 49ers? Great, because they were so lucky to have Saleh as their DC last season... meanwhile, the Titans are still searching for a new DC 🤔... I mean, what's wrong with this league?
 
ugh, great, just what we need another injury-ridden season 😒. so the 49ers are gonna hire Raheem Morris to fix their mess, hope that guy can actually do something right for once 🤔. and now Atlanta's got some new blood in charge too, thanks Arthur Blank for setting them back 10 years 💸. at least Kevin Stefanski's trying to make a change, wonder if it'll be enough to turn things around tho 🤷‍♂️. anyway, looks like the Titans are stuck with that mess Saleh just left 'em 👀. guess we'll have to wait and see how all these changes play out... probably gonna end up being another letdown 🚫
 
Just saw that the 49ers are hiring Raheem Morris to fix their defense after all the injuries in 2025 🤕... I feel bad for Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, they were having an amazing season before getting hurt 😔. Morris's reputation speaks for itself, he did a great job with the Rams and helped them win Super Bowl LVI! 💥 It'll be interesting to see how he does in San Francisco. And what's up with Kevin Stefanski taking over in Atlanta? 🤷‍♂️ At least Arthur Blank is giving both Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot good wishes, that's the spirit of sportsmanship ⚓️!
