49ers Coaches Roster | San Francisco 49ers - 49ers.com

Kyle Shanahan was named the 20th head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on February 6, 2017. Shanahan signed a multi-year contract extension with the 49ers on June 15, 2020.

Shanahan and the 2022 49ers finished with a 13-4 regular season record, including wins in each of their last 10 games and a NFC West title. San Francisco earned a berth in the NFC Championship Game following a pair of home playoff game victories over the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys. The Niners saw four AP First-Team All-Pro selections in DL Nick Bosa, S Talanoa Hufanga, LB Fred Warner and T Trent Williams, as well as two AP Second-Team All-Pro selections in TE George Kittle and S George Odum (special teamer). Bosa was named Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year after leading the NFL with a career-high 18.5 sacks.

Robert Saleh (SAH-luh), 45, returns to the 49ers after spending three-plus seasons (2021-24) as head coach of the New York Jets. During his time in New York, Saleh guided four different players in their first four years in the NFL to earn Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors (WR Braxton Berrios, CB Sauce Gardner & DL Quinnen Williams) and Pro Bowl appearances (Gardner, LB Jermaine Johnson II & Williams). The Jets defense excelled with Saleh at the helm, ranking in the top 10 in the NFL in multiple categories over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. During that span (2022-23), Saleh’s Jets ranked first in passing yards allowed per game (178.9) and opponent yards per play (4.7), second in total defense (301.7) and sixth in opponent yards per rush (4.1). The unit also tallied 93 sacks and 29 interceptions during that time, tied for the eighth and 10th-most, respectively, in the NFL. In 2022, Saleh was responsible for the development of the NFL’s Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year in WR Garrett Wilson and Gardner, making the Jets the third team in NFL history to have both rookie players win the honor.

Kubiak enters his fourth season with the 49ers, and first as the team’s offensive passing game specialist, after spending the previous three seasons as the assistant quarterbacks coach (2022-23) and defensive quality control coach (2021).

As the team’s assistant quarterbacks coach, Kubiak has worked closely with QB Brock Purdy, helping him break multiple records and lead the 49ers to a 21-6 record (postseason included) over the previous two seasons (2022-23). In 2023, Purdy set the single season franchise records for passing yards (4,280) and passer rating (113.0) and became the first 49ers quarterback to throw 30-or-more touchdowns since the 2001 season. When Purdy became the starter in 2022, Kubiak played a role in helping him become the first quarterback in franchise history to win their first five starts and the third rookie quarterback in NFL history to win at least their first five starts. In 2021, Kubiak assisted a defensive unit that that ranked third in the NFL in total defense, holding opponents to 310.0 yards per game.

Boyer, 53, joins the 49ers after spending the previous nine seasons as special teams coordinator for the New York Jets. During his Jets tenure (2016-24), Boyer led a special teams unit that ranked tied-for-second in total touchdowns (nine), second in blocked punts (eight) and tied-for-fifth in special teams points scored (63) and opponent kickoff return average (21.8). Under Boyer’s guidance, two players (WR Braxton Berrios - 2022 & WR Andre Roberts - 2018) earned Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors as returners, while three players (CB Justin Hardee - 2023, Roberts - 2019 and K Jason Myers - 2019) made Pro Bowl appearances.
