Robert Saleh to Titans, 49ers DC options, Bills fire McDermott, NFL’s 18-game push | Richard Sherman
Richard Sherman reacts to Robert Saleh landing the Tennessee Titans head coaching job and breaks down why it’s one of the toughest rebuilds in the NFL, from roster holes to AFC South competition. Sherm and Mitchell discuss what Saleh brings as a leader, how the Titans can establish a defensive identity, and why hiring the right offensive coordinator will be critical. The conversation shifts to the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator vacancy, potential candidates like Jim Schwartz and Raheem Morris, and whether Sherm would ever consider coaching himself. Sherm also gives his unfiltered take on the Buffalo Bills moving on from Sean McDermott, questions the GM’s promotion, and explains why Buffalo’s roster construction around Josh Allen is the real issue. To close, Sherman reacts to the NFL’s push for an 18-game regular season, international games, increased injuries, and what players would need in return for that kind of workload. Insightful, honest, and straight from someone who’s lived it — this is NFL talk you won’t get anywhere else.

Sherman for cornerback coach …yes… but not DC yet…you gotta have designed defensive schemes first. They will give it to kj wright
I would love to have you as a DC for the 49ers!
Sherm! You should could be our DC It’s time!!! Bang bang!
All you 9ers fans think Sherman is more known for his time there, LMFAO!!! HE'S A SEAHAWKS MAIN STAY LOB LEGEND!!!
When he goes into the HOF, IT WILL NOT BE FOR HIS TIME AS A 9ERS PLAYER, BUT WHAT HE DID AGAINST THE 9ERS WHILE ON THE SEAHAWKS!!!
The INFAMOUS TIP!!! MALCOLM BUTLER'S IT AFTER!!! I MEAN "COME ON MAN"!!!

It takes a special guy to get other grown men to listen and follow your lead.
As a Titans fan, I hate how little the media talks about the titans.. and when they do, they just don't know what they are talking about.
Richard just surprised me with how much knowledge he knew about the titans and what's going on about the organization.
Shout out to sherm!
Definitely a DB coach with the intention to transition to future DC. Similar to KJ Wright.
People acting like the Titans weren't competitive when Vrabel was there. They went to the afc championship in 2020. Then had the best record(tie breaker agaisnt the Chiefs) in 2021.
Great commentary. I understand the revenue implications, but as a fan, 16 games plus playoffs is more than enough for me. It also would make sense to reduce preseason to 2 games. To me, 2 preseason, 16 regular and playoffs would be the sweet spot.
ALOHA Sherman 😊
Sherm come coach those D-backs!
Dear Josh Allen, yes your defense gave up 30 points…
and Bo Nix's defense also gave up 30 points…to you.
Maybe you should try SCORING MORE POINTS THAN THE OTHER TEAM.
sure worked for Bo Nix didnt it…?
WE READY FOR U AS DC IN THE BAY
Richard needs to be a DC WITH THE 49ers
Sherm try for the dc job and if you don’t get it then go for an assistant job please bro we need you.
Get the 49ers name out your mouth
I hope the 49ers call Richard Sherman if he is down for DC Job. Richard Sherman is a legendary hall framer Defender mind.
Wouldn't be surprised is KJ goes with Salah as an LB coach. He likes that scheme
I don't want more games. NFL has been the only league that every game matter. NBA and MLB could play half their games and it would be a better product. NFL is already beginning to sit guys or limit their snaps against lower opponents.
Wishing Rob good luck. Just hope the titans give him enough time to actually turn things around.
I really wish that Richard Sherman was the Niners Dc coach but it's fine. It sucks that My Niners got thier butts kicked badly by the Seahawks but it was because of way too many injuries, a short week and the Niners were all tired and gassed out and Kyle's play calling was awful and that offensive line was terrible. The Niners had a good season with the ton of injuries that they endured all season long. All the Niners front office needs to do this off season is to do some massive upgrades on all sides of the ball including investing in an all new offensive line to get better protection for Brock next season and get a better offensive coordinator and a better defense coach to help out Kyle next season. Other teams have been drafting way better than the Niners have in recent years and that is not good at all, which needs to change. I do wish Robert Saleh all the best in Tennessee. I might root for the Broncos or the Patriots in the Superbowl but I might skip this years Superbowl because I'm just in no mood to watch it. Good analysis as always Richard and Mitchell and take care.
I wish saleh stayed. We really needed him! But he keeps going to crap teams! Will he be the new mcdaniels from NE? Seeya in a few years Robert (enjoy your $100M 😂)
NFL is nuts in pushing for an 18 week season. There are already too many games for players to handle. And none of that even touches the fact that players on short rest play far worse which leads to a sloppy product and more injuries. Many players don't have "off switches" so if the schedule doesn't force rest periods, the best players will break.
Sherm you hit the BILLS right on the head. They needed to fire the GM. We need TALENT!!! McDermott was everything to us. It’s a sad time
Gus Bradley DC, KJ Wright Co-DC/ LB coach, Sherman DBs…
Fuck it, whatever it takes to get 6
