The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly hiring former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen as their special teams coordinator, according

As the 2025 head coach hiring cycle draws to a close, teams that have recently made changes in that department are filling out their respective staffs.

Robert Saleh is back as defensive coordinator of the 49ers, and all is right with the world. For now, anyway. Coach Kyle Shanahan has cycled through DeMeco Ryans, Steve Wilks and Nick Sorensen after Saleh’s departure following the 2020 season to become head coach of the New York Jets.

Robert Saleh was sacked by the New York Jets, and while all eyes are on the Aaron Glenn era, it’s not over for the former head coach in the NFL. Over the past few days while the dust settled on the hirings of Glenn as coach and Darry Mougey as general manager in New York, Saleh has returned home… in a sense.

The Cowboys have made Nick Sorensen's hire as their special teams coordinator official, the team announced Tuesday.

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Dallas Cowboys are set to hire former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen as their new special teams coordinator.

The San Francisco 49ers have long established their strong defensive identity, and with Robert Saleh back at the helm

Robert Saleh, who ran the Niners' defense from 2017 to 2020, is heading back to San Francisco for the same role after a three-plus-year stint as Jets coach.

Robert Saleh cannot personally create turnovers, rush the passer or stop the run. His return as the 49ers’ D-coordinator is no guarantee of success.

Saleh was fired midway through this past season in New York, but the Jets had a strong defense under his tenure.

According to ESPN, the New York Jets and former San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator Steve Wilks have agreed to terms on a contract.
