Coaching Staff
Kyle Shanahan enters his eighth season as the 49ers’ head coach, boasting four double-digit winning campaigns out of the last five seasons. All of those ended with at least a trip to the NFC Championship game. The 49ers are once again the favorites to win the NFC at +250 according to DraftKings. Very little was done at the top of the depth chart offensively as Shanahan is basically reloading and refocusing to make another run. One splash Shanahan and John Lynch did make was selecting Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall at the end of the first round as a luxury pick. This selection should lead to what already was the fourth best offense in the NFL in terms of passing yards per game (257.9). Furthermore, the 49ers look to stay as one of the more efficient offenses at keeping the ball as they were 20th in turnovers per game (1.1) last season. Fantasy managers will continue to have a field day drafting 49ers’ players onto their fantasy football rosters.
As like it’s always been, Shanahan will continue calling the plays for the 49ers’ offense. They don’t officially have an offensive coordinator in title, but Chris Foerster has been the team’s run game coordinator since 2022 when he took over for Mike McDaniel. Last season the 49ers were third in the NFL in rushing yards per game with 140.5. Foerster also doubles as the offensive line coach. Together, Shanahan, Foerster and the rest of the 49ers’ offensive staff continue to have one of the most dominating and stat-racking offenses in the NFL.
