The previous day, the team fired special teams coordinator Brian Schneider, stripped defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen of his duties (Shanahan hopes Sorensen, who remains under contract, will stay aboard in a different role), and announced intentions of promoting offensive pass-game specialist Klay Kubiak to offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>These moves vary in significance, but they\u2019re all notable for a team that followed up a highly successful five-year stretch with a miserable, injury-riddled 6-11 campaign in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>While Kubiak\u2019s promotion is the most subtle of the three maneuvers, it\u2019s undoubtedly intriguing. Shanahan will retain primary play-calling duties, and while he seemed to downplay Kubiak\u2019s promotion \u2014 \u201che just hasn\u2019t had the title yet,\u201d he said \u2014 it\u2019s worth noting that only one previous Shanahan lieutenant, current Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, has ascended to the title of offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>McDaniel held that job in 2021, when Shanahan topped the league in play-caller rankings despite also dealing with a slew of offensive injuries. Shanahan regressed significantly in similar metrics this past season, a slide that might indicate more trusted help can propel him to regain an advantage over opposing defensive coordinators in the perpetual chess match that is the NFL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\" \">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center \">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FLombardiHimself&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1877129381748810209&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fsfstandard.com%2F2025%2F01%2F09%2Fthe-49ers-will-have-3-new-coordinators-in-2025-here-are-kyle-shanahans-main-options%2F&amp;sessionId=83f52e3ab770b4c07cacc6e43cb57fb60f7ad877&amp;siteScreenName=sfstandard&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1877129381748810209\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"floats\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll continue to call plays, but Klay and I have done everything the past two years together, hand in hand, game-planning together,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cHe just gets better and better at it. Now, he\u2019ll get the official title, which he more than deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This is all-important offensive context for the 49ers as they prepare to make a massive long-term financial commitment to quarterback Brock Purdy, who\u2019s now eligible to sign a contract extension. Both Lynch and Shanahan spent a chunk of Wednesday\u2019s session reiterating their belief in Purdy, who finished 2024 ranked No. 7 in QBR despite the 49ers\u2019 difficulties around him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI plan on being with Brock here the entire time I\u2019m here,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cWe\u2019re capable of winning a Super Bowl with him. We almost did. I know he\u2019s capable of getting the Niners a Super Bowl in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers offense finished No. 11 in expected points added (EPA), a respectable ranking but still a steep drop-off from the No. 1 spot it held in 2023. The defense, though, suffered a much steeper decline \u2014 from No. 10 to No. 26 \u2014\u00a0and that\u2019s why Sorensen\u2019s removal from coordinator duties came as no surprise. Shanahan said Sorensen is a candidate to take over as special teams coordinator. The team fired Schneider from that role after losing a staggering 63.8 expected points on special teams, the worst mark of any NFL team over the past four seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"\">\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<figure class=\" \">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center \">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FLombardiHimself&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfdGltZWxpbmVfbGlzdCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOltdLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2ZvbGxvd2VyX2NvdW50X3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9iYWNrZW5kIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19yZWZzcmNfc2Vzc2lvbiI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZm9zbnJfc29mdF9pbnRlcnZlbnRpb25zX2VuYWJsZWQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib24iLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X21peGVkX21lZGlhXzE1ODk3Ijp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRyZWF0bWVudCIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3Nob3dfYmlyZHdhdGNoX3Bpdm90c19lbmFibGVkIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6Im9uIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH0sInRmd19kdXBsaWNhdGVfc2NyaWJlc190b19zZXR0aW5ncyI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdXNlX3Byb2ZpbGVfaW1hZ2Vfc2hhcGVfZW5hYmxlZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdmlkZW9faGxzX2R5bmFtaWNfbWFuaWZlc3RzXzE1MDgyIjp7ImJ1Y2tldCI6InRydWVfYml0cmF0ZSIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfbGVnYWN5X3RpbWVsaW5lX3N1bnNldCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOnRydWUsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9LCJ0ZndfdHdlZXRfZWRpdF9mcm9udGVuZCI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJvbiIsInZlcnNpb24iOm51bGx9fQ%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1876424510838338000&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fsfstandard.com%2F2025%2F01%2F09%2Fthe-49ers-will-have-3-new-coordinators-in-2025-here-are-kyle-shanahans-main-options%2F&amp;sessionId=83f52e3ab770b4c07cacc6e43cb57fb60f7ad877&amp;siteScreenName=sfstandard&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1876424510838338000\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"floats\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">\n<p>The 49ers\u2019 decision at defensive coordinator brings the biggest possibility of change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m open to anything,\u201d Shanahan said in response to a question about his willingness to move away from the team\u2019s current defensive scheme, which stayed rooted in a 4-3, Cover-3 base ever since this regime assumed power in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>While Shanahan has gently flirted with big changes in the past \u2014 he\u2019s acknowledged inquiring about the availability of legend Bill Belichick and Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo after the 2023 season \u2014 he hasn\u2019t made any realistic swings at coordinator talent that would truly shake up the 49ers\u2019 defensive process. Even the hiring of Steve Wilks in 2023 was based on the understanding that the outsider would learn the 49ers\u2019 existing system before implementing his own wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p>But now, more drastic moves seem to be actual possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying you have to change schemes, but you have to have the ability, the history, and the knowledge of how to change some stuff up when you\u2019re in certain situations, and I do think we need more of that moving forward,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cI want someone who meshes with what I believe in. You have to come up with the best thing possible that fits our situation right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Josina Anderson reported Tuesday that the 49ers are likely to re-offer the position to Robert Saleh, Shanahan\u2019s first defensive coordinator from 2017 to 2020. Saleh spent most of the past four seasons as head coach of the New York Jets; he\u2019s now a consultant for the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n<p>Saleh would be a natural fit: He coordinated one of the best 49ers defenses of this era in 2019 and even managed to hold together an injury-decimated unit in 2020, mixing Cover 4 concepts with the system\u2019s traditional Cover 3 to modernize the unit in a fashion that\u2019s necessary for the 49ers now. However, he\u2019s a candidate on the head-coaching circuit (the Jacksonville Jaguars interview him Tuesday) and therefore might land outside the 49ers\u2019 reach.<\/p>\n<p>Shanahan said assistant Brandon Staley, who spent the 2024 season mostly working with the 49ers\u2019 cornerbacks (a group that had a relatively solid year amid the team\u2019s struggles), will be an internal candidate for defensive coordinator. That\u2019s another sign that Shanahan is open to relatively drastic change, since Staley is a disciple of Vic Fangio \u2014 a 3-4 scheme adherent who was the 49ers\u2019 defensive coordinator from 2011 to 2014 under coach Jim Harbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of that, several experienced names may be available. They include Jeff Ulbrich, the South Bay native and former 49ers linebacker who\u2019s the interim coach of the Jets but seems unlikely to be retained by New York\u2019s new coaching staff. (Ulbrich was previously defensive coordinator under Saleh there and on an Atlanta Falcons staff that included Shanahan.)<\/p>\n<p>Gus Bradley, the original coordinator of the \u201cLegion of Boom\u201d Seattle Seahawks defenses, which the 49ers used as their defensive foundation in 2017, is also available. So are experienced 4-3 scheme adherents Dennis Allen and Matt Eberflus. Former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, who has employed both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, is also a free agent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like there\u2019s some options there that can be a better option for the situation we\u2019re in as a team,\u201d Shanahan said before hinting that a veteran coordinator \u2014 Sorensen was a first-timer \u2014 is preferred this time around. \u201cHaving the experience of going through this before is a bonus for me. It helps me with some stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In general, it seems that the 49ers might trend toward a name who can diversify their portfolio of blitz offerings. Disciples of coordinators like the Minnesota Vikings\u2019 Brian Flores, who blitzes more than any coach in the NFL, therefore cannot be ruled out. Saleh and fellow former 49ers coordinator DeMeco Ryans, who\u2019s now the head coach of the Houston Texans, were never prolific blitz-callers, but both were able to dial up effective extra pressure in key situations to keep the defense afloat.<\/p>\n<p>Sorensen\u2019s defense was particularly deficient in that regard, and this shortcoming was especially evident in the 49ers\u2019 penultimate loss of the season. The Detroit Lions\u2019 high-powered offense constantly burned a 49ers defense rushing only four defensive linemen before dominating Sorensen\u2019s rare blitz tries even more severely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"\">\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<figure class=\" \">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center \">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-2\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FLombardiHimself&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-2&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1877123120827359710&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fsfstandard.com%2F2025%2F01%2F09%2Fthe-49ers-will-have-3-new-coordinators-in-2025-here-are-kyle-shanahans-main-options%2F&amp;sessionId=83f52e3ab770b4c07cacc6e43cb57fb60f7ad877&amp;siteScreenName=sfstandard&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=500px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1877123120827359710\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"floats\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"paragraph-block article-body undefined text-left\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI love the scheme that we\u2019ve had here,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the hardest things to play when you\u2019ve got the right guys in the right spots. But I think people adjust to schemes, too, and I think you\u2019ve got to adjust your personnel. I think that was the toughest thing for us this year, harder than past seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shanahan did express optimism that the 49ers\u2019 early exit will give them more time to rebuild the foundation this offseason. More coordinator candidates will be available now than in February, when the 49ers began the search that ended with Sorensen\u2019s promotion 11 months ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be better at building the foundation, having more time to do it, being a little more prepared for it \u2014 because we saw where it went last year,\u201d Shanahan said. \u201cThat starts with getting a coordinator in here who can help us map that out. And once we do map that out, it goes right to free agency and how to make sure we can get the best possible situation that we have out of the situation that we\u2019re in. And then it goes to the draft, and when that\u2019s over, all the guys are here, and then you get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s just the on-field work. Interview work and the critical, careful recalibrating of the 49ers\u2019 direction begins now. Shanahan and Lynch, upon finishing Wednesday\u2019s press conference, left the room to delve into that project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of big decisions ahead for us,\u201d Shanahan said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This marks the biggest shakeup we&#8217;ve seen since the head coach and GM John Lynch took over \u2014 and the potential changes on the defensive side are most drastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28757,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28756","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>REPORT: The 49ers will have 3 new coordinators in 2025.
