Sports247 reports that Okonkwo and Ayomanor will hope to get revitalized fortunes this year in USA’s National Football League (NFL), as Saleh takes over the team with lofty credentials.
It will interest Okonkwo and Ayomanor to learn that the Lebanese tactician arrives on a five-year contract from his previous job as San Francisco 49ers’ defensive coordinator.
A citation by Sports Yahoo contributing writer, Chris Cwik noted in part, “Saleh returned to Kyle Shanahan’s staff this season after a four-year stint as New York Jets’ head coach.
“Compiling a 20-36 record before being fired five games into the 2024 campaign, he worked the remainder of that season as a consultant for the Green Bay Packers.
“His first stint as San Francisco’s defensive coordinator lasted four seasons, which included a run to Super Bowl LIV with the league’s No. 2 defense.
“Saleh’s background is on the other side of the ball, making his choice of offensive coordinator a major storyline for Ward and the franchise.
“The team’s leading receiver, tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo, finished with just 560 receiving yards; while fourth-round rookie, Elic Ayomanor had moments, but struggled with consistency.”
