49ers Hire Klay Kubiak as Offensive Coordinator

The San Francisco 49ers are undergoing significant changes to their coaching staff following a disappointing 6-11 season. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has promoted Klay Kubiak, previously the offensive passing game specialist, to offensive coordinator, marking the first new hire for this position since 2021. Shanahan will retain play-calling duties but has acknowledged Kubiak's growth and potential for future head coaching opportunities. Additionally, the team has terminated special teams coordinator Brian Schneider and will search for a new defensive coordinator after parting ways with Nick Sorensen. Despite ranking eighth in the NFL for yards allowed, the 49ers struggled defensively, allowing 25.6 points per game and finishing with a -10 turnover margin. The franchise aims to rebound and return to Super Bowl contention in the upcoming season.
