49ers Overhaul Coaching Staff for 2025 Season

The San Francisco 49ers have executed a significant overhaul of their coaching staff for the 2025 season, marked by the promotion of Klay Kubiak to offensive coordinator and the hiring of Robert Saleh as defensive coordinator. Mick Lombardi replaces Brian Griese as quarterbacks coach, a role change that follows Griese's decision not to pursue a head-coaching opportunity with the New York Jets. The addition of Gus Bradley as assistant head coach of defense and Brant Boyer as special teams coordinator are among the most notable changes. Head coach Kyle Shanahan will continue to call plays despite Kubiak's promotion. The team also brings in new hires such as Colt Anderson for special teams and Jake Lynch as defensive quality control. These strategic moves aim to bolster the 49ers' performance as they prepare to extend quarterback Brock Purdy's contract and pursue another championship.
