Rathman will not return as assistant on 49ers staff
Tom Rathman, who has spent 22 seasons with the 49ers as a coach and player, will not return to the team’s coaching staff for the 2017 season, he told CSNBayArea.com on Sunday.
“I’m not going to be back,” Rathman said. “I feel like it’s the best for everybody if I just parted and let those guys do their thing and take me out of the equation so that nobody’s uncomfortable.
“I’m looking to coach running backs and that’s what I want to do. I’m just going to wait for the next opportunity and go for it when it happens.”
