49ers fire assistant head coach and tight ends Jon Embree

The 49ers were expected to make changes to their coaching staff this offseason. We thought the team might lose both coordinators to head coaching jobs. DeMeco Ryans removed his name from the Vikings' job for consideration. Mike McDaniel is scheduled to interview with the Dolphins Thursday.

There are multiple changes among each team’s coaching staff every year. Solomon Wilcots, who has been covering the NFL for years at NFL Network, was a broadcaster, and now on Sirius XM Radio, reported the 49ers fired assistant head coach and tight ends coach Jon Embree.

Embree spent the past five seasons with the 49ers and also coached with Kyle Shanahan in Washington back in 2010.
