Additionally, Shanahan indicated that Daniel Bullocks, the 49ers’ defensive backs coach, is expected to interview for the position later in the week. Moreover, Shanahan plans to conduct interviews with two more external candidates in the coming days.
The final coordinator position in the NFL is nearing its resolution, according to 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area that he anticipates completing the hiring process this week for a defensive coordinator.
Shanahan said to Maiocco that the 49ers have conducted interviews with Brandon Staley, former head coach of the Chargers, and Nick Sorensen, the team’s defensive passing game specialist. The vacancy arose following the dismissal of Steve Wilks, who served as defensive coordinator for just one season.
There are several teams in the 2018 NFL Draft class who have a quarterback that is better than the Chicago Bears. With the third overall choice in the draft, the Patriots’ scouting director acknowledges that New England has a wide range of quarterback options and that this class is extremely skilled.
Prior to being fired halfway through the 2023 season, Staley, 41, managed the Chargers for two seasons, compiling a 24–25 record. In the meantime, 45-year-old Sorensen joined the 49ers coaching staff in 2022 and was subsequently elevated to the position of defensive passing game specialist and nickel backs coach.
