Fleury\u2019s exit marks a shift for the 49ers as they look to fill the void in a critical position. However, instead of bringing in an external candidate, the 49ers have chosen to promote from within, elevating assistant offensive line coach Cameron Clemmons to the role of tight ends coach for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"611\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/ZHyrUjBZ6Bg8m4Wssk3BDA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQyNztjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sb_nation_articles_115\/0a503f4fa2b05c5690647eba9c78916b\" alt=\"49ers hire from within to replace TEs coach that left for Seahawks OC job -  Yahoo Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"669\"><strong data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"669\">Fleury&#8217;s Departure: A Significant Loss for the 49ers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"1240\">Brian Fleury&#8217;s departure to the Seahawks represents a loss for the 49ers, as he had been with the team since 2019. Fleury initially joined the 49ers as a defensive quality control coach after his tenure with the Miami Dolphins, where he gained experience working on the defensive side of the ball. However, under head coach Kyle Shanahan, Fleury\u2019s role took a sharp turn, with Shanahan making the decision to switch him to an offensive quality control coach for two years. This change proved to be a successful one, and Fleury was promoted to tight ends coach in 2022.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1742\">Fleury\u2019s contributions to the 49ers were substantial. He not only coached tight ends for the past two seasons but also took on the added responsibility of run game coordinator in 2024 after Chris Foerster\u2019s promotion to assistant head coach. Fleury\u2019s steady rise through the coaching ranks, alongside the continued development of tight ends like George Kittle, made him a highly regarded coach in San Francisco, eventually leading to his new position with the Seahawks as their offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1803\"><strong data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1803\">Clemmons\u2019 Rapid Rise: A Fresh Opportunity for the 49ers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"2287\">With Fleury\u2019s departure creating a vacancy in the tight ends coaching position, the 49ers have opted to promote Cameron Clemmons from within the organization. Clemmons had been serving as the assistant offensive line coach for the past two seasons, and his promotion to tight ends coach represents a fast rise in his coaching career. Clemmons brings a wealth of experience to the role, having spent several years in coaching positions at both the collegiate and professional levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1805\" data-end=\"2287\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_fill,w_1200,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/all_seahawks\/01khf68zpqf74jmw2kce.jpg\" alt=\"Seahawks Interviewing 49ers Assistant for Offensive Coordinator Job\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2289\" data-end=\"2660\">Clemmons\u2019 coaching career began in 2015 when he joined Eastern Kentucky as an offensive intern. From there, his journey took him to the University of Tennessee, where he worked as a graduate assistant and later as an offensive quality control analyst. Clemmons\u2019 time at Tennessee laid the foundation for his future success, which ultimately led him to the 49ers in 2021.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2662\" data-end=\"2990\">As a former offensive lineman himself, Clemmons brings a unique perspective to the tight ends position, where blocking plays a key role. His coaching experience with the offensive line, combined with his understanding of the intricacies of tight end play, will be a valuable asset as he works with the 49ers\u2019 tight ends in 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3041\"><strong data-start=\"2992\" data-end=\"3041\">The Tight Ends Group: Clemmons\u2019 New Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3043\" data-end=\"3482\">Clemmons will inherit a group of tight ends with varying levels of experience, led by superstar George Kittle. Kittle, who has been one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic and versatile tight ends, is currently recovering from a torn Achilles, which will present a challenge for Clemmons in the early stages of the 2026 season. The 49ers will be hoping for Kittle\u2019s full recovery, as his health and production are pivotal to their offensive success.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3484\" data-end=\"3898\">Alongside Kittle, Clemmons will work with tight ends Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis, both of whom have shown promise but are still looking to establish themselves in the league. Additionally, Hayden Rucci is also part of the group, currently on a reserve\/futures contract. Clemmons will have to assess the potential of each player and develop them to ensure they can contribute to the offense in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3900\" data-end=\"4278\">With the 49ers\u2019 offensive system revolving around the tight end position as a key part of their blocking and passing schemes, Clemmons\u2019 ability to bring out the best in his group will be crucial. His ability to develop both the physical and mental aspects of the tight end role will determine how well the 49ers perform offensively, especially with Kittle\u2019s health a key factor.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4280\" data-end=\"4334\"><strong data-start=\"4280\" data-end=\"4334\">The Future of the 49ers\u2019 Tight Ends Under Clemmons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4336\" data-end=\"4822\">As the 49ers move forward with Cameron Clemmons taking over as tight ends coach, there is a sense of optimism surrounding the decision. Clemmons&#8217; promotion not only rewards him for his hard work and dedication but also signals the 49ers\u2019 confidence in their internal development system. Given his background as an offensive lineman, Clemmons is well-equipped to integrate tight ends into the 49ers&#8217; run-heavy offense while also utilizing their pass-catching abilities in key situations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4336\" data-end=\"4822\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTUwEQI66aalQ5d8pBzxA2f4v-T2WsWHOjqKg&amp;s\" alt=\"49ers tight ends coach Brian Fleury interviewing for Seahawks offensive  coordinator job - NBC Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4824\" data-end=\"5314\">The 49ers are entering a critical season in their pursuit of an NFC Championship, and the development of their tight ends will be integral to that goal. Clemmons now finds himself at the helm of a talented but challenging group, with the hopes of the 49ers\u2019 offensive success resting on his shoulders. If Clemmons can help Kittle bounce back fully from his injury and get the most out of the younger players in the tight end room, the 49ers&#8217; offense could take a major step forward in 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5316\" data-end=\"5705\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The pressure is on for Clemmons, but with his rapid rise and the support of the coaching staff, he\u2019s in a strong position to make a significant impact as the 49ers&#8217; new tight ends coach. The South Side of San Francisco will be watching closely as Clemmons navigates this new challenge and attempts to build a formidable tight ends group that can contribute to the team\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>49ers Promote From Within to Replace Tight Ends Coach Lost to Seahawks OC Job The San Francisco 49ers have made a significant move within their coaching staff&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":159778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-159777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udd25 REPORT: 49ers Promote From Within After Tight Ends Coach Bolts for Seahawks\u2019 OC Spot \u2014 The Internal Pick Has Raised Eyebrows and Could Reshape the Offense in Ways No One Saw Coming!
