The Liam Coen-Robert Saleh drama continued today after the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the San Francisco 49ers 26-21 at Levi's Stadium on Sunday.

Prior to the game, Saleh accused of Coen of 'stealing team's signs' during a press conference this week and suggested that other coaches such as Sean MvCay and Kevin O'Connell also do as well. Coen didn't take too kindly of Saleh accusing him of stealing signs and approached him after the game telling Saleh to keep his name out of his mouth.

After the game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked by the media his thoughts on Coen's and Saleh's post-game scuffle. Shanahan said he didn't see what happened, but threw a jab at Coen, saying that he shouldn't be so sensitive about the situation.

“I didn’t see what happened so I’m not sure, but he [Liam] shouldn’t be that sensitive about it. But, it is what it is, not too worried about it.”

Shanahan responded any way a head coach would that would defend one his members of his coaching staff.

This offseason, both Coen and Saleh were interviewed for the Jaguars' head coaching job. Coen got the job over Saleh and many other candidates. Maybe that added some fuel to Saleh's orignal comment this week.
