San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan made an intriguing hire this offseason, adding Chris Kiffin to a mostly returning coaching staff. We don’t know a ton about most of the assistant coaches, but it’s helpful to try and take a dive into whatever is out there. This is the final article of a three-part series (part 1, part 2). I am purposely not including the recruiting violation problems Chris Kiffin had with the NCAA. For the time being, they are not pertinent to his job with the 49ers.
Kiffin worked under Bo Pelini and Ed Orgeron for two seasons as a defensive quality control assistant at Nebraska before moving on to USC where he worked with his father and brother as a defensive assistant.
