49ers Promote Kubiak Amid Major Team Changes

The San Francisco 49ers are undergoing significant changes following a disappointing 6-11 season in 2024. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has promoted Klay Kubiak to offensive coordinator while searching for new coordinators for defense and special teams. Despite the setbacks, the team expresses confidence in quarterback Brock Purdy, who is eligible for a contract extension and could command up to $60 million annually. Injuries and personal tragedies plagued the season, contributing to the team's struggles, but the 49ers have the easiest 2025 schedule, providing hope for a turnaround. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers are also making coaching adjustments after a record-setting defensive failure, retaining DC Ejiro Evero but letting go of several assistants. The Panthers aim to evaluate their personnel and strategies to improve in the upcoming season.
