Meet the 2021 9ers Coaching Staff: Who’s In and Who’s Out?
It’s that time of the year again for the football enthusiasts as a new season is about to kick off. The San Francisco 49ers, or the 9ers, have made some significant changes in their coaching staff. In this article, we are going to take a closer look at the 2021 9ers coaching staff, who’s in and who’s out.
Who’s In?
Kyle Shanahan, the Head Coach of the 9ers, has made some strategic decisions by adding new members to his coaching staff. Let’s take a closer look at who’s in.
DeMeco Ryans (Defensive Coordinator)
DeMeco Ryans has been a member of the 9ers since 2018 as a Defensive Quality Control Coach. Kyle Shanahan has promoted Ryans to the position of Defensive Coordinator in 2021. Ryans has played for ten years in NFL, and since his retirement, he has made his path to coaching. He has won numerous awards and accolades for his in-game performance as a player, and that experience will undoubtedly affect his role as a defensive coordinator.
Mike McDaniel (Offensive Coordinator)
Mike McDaniel also receives a promotion in the 9ers coaching staff. He was previously a part of the 9ers as a run game coordinator, but in 2021, Kyle Shanahan has promoted him to Offensive Coordinator. Mike McDaniel has worked alongside Kyle Shanahan in many different teams, and his expertise will be vital in leading the 9ers’ offense to success this year.
Who’s Out?
Kyle Shanahan has also made some decisions to let go of a few coaches. Let’s see who’s out of the 9ers coaching staff in 2021.
Robert Saleh (Former Defensive Coordinator)
Robert Saleh was a part of the 9ers since 2017 as a Defensive Coordinator, and he was widely considered to be one of the best in the business. However, the New York Jets offered him a head coach position, which he accepted in 2021. Robert Saleh’s departure is a significant loss for the 9ers, but they have strategically added DeMeco Ryans as his successor.
Miles Austin (Former Offensive Quality Control Coach)
Miles Austin was a part of the 9ers since 2019 as an Offensive Quality Control Coach. However, he was let go in 2021 after the 9ers added new coaching staff members.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the changes made by Kyle Shanahan in the 9ers coaching staff speaks volumes about where the team is headed in 2021. The 9ers have added some crucial members to their coaching staff, which includes DeMeco Ryans as a new defensive coordinator and Mike McDaniel as an Offensive coordinator. The addition of these experienced members along with some staff movement shows that the 9ers are committed to improve this year.
