The San Francisco 49ers continue to deny interview opportunities for assistant coaches. The latest is wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Mike LaFleur. The team told the Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns, and Minnesota Vikings they could not interview LaFleur, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Packers hired LaFleur’s brother, Matt, to be head coach.
This news follows word earlier this week that the 49ers shot down the Broncos request to interview quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello, and multiple requests for run game coordinator Mike McDaniel.
