Tuesday’s 49ers-Chargers joint practice ended without fights, prompting Kyle Shanahan to joke that Tennessee coach Robert Saleh had less discipline than the Chargers’ staff.
Shanahan quickly framed it as a joke, saying the Titans session escalated because tensions flared early, while nothing happened early against Los Angeles and nothing broke late.
Robert Saleh, a former 49ers defensive coordinator, was the target of the jab, underscoring the familiarity between the two coaches rather than a serious dispute.
Jim Harbaugh’s presence as Chargers coach added another 49ers link, with Shanahan saying people in San Francisco and on Harbaugh’s staff speak highly of him.
