49ers make change at QBs coach, promote Mick Lombardi

In addition to confirming a new set of coordinators Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers promoted Mick Lombardi to quarterbacks coach, replacing Brian Griese in the role.

It was not yet known whether Griese was let go or chose to leave the 49ers on his own. Griese, the quarterbacks coach for the past three seasons in San Francisco, was sought for a head-coaching interview with the New York Jets last month but declined the offer.

Lombardi, 36, is in his second stint with the 49ers after working in various lower capacities on their staff from 2013-16. He served as the Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive coordinator in 2022-23 before returning to San Francisco as a senior offensive assistant in 2024.

The change in the quarterbacks room comes as the 49ers are expected to re-sign starter Brock Purdy to a long-term deal this offseason.

The 49ers also formalized the promotion of Klay Kubiak as their new offensive coordinator, announced initially in January. The role was vacant for the past two seasons. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, however, will still call plays.

Kubiak worked in assistant roles on both sides of the ball for the Niners since 2021 and was an offensive passing game specialist last year.

Robert Saleh returns to his old post of defensive coordinator after being fired as head coach of the New York Jets in October. Brant Boyer joins San Francisco as special teams coordinator.
