Thomas McGaughey in running for 49ers special teams job

The San Francisco 49ers special teams were less than stellar in 2015, but that might not cost Thomas McGaughey his job. The 49ers special teams coach in 2015 is in the running for the job in 2016, according to Matt Barrows. McGaughey's assistant, Richard Hightower, is also in the running for a job.

Kelly's special teams coordinator in Philadelphia, Dave Fipp, was a coach a lot of fans were interested in. The Eagles have had solid special teams the last couple years. They ranked No. 10 this season, and No. 1 the year before. Fipp is joining Doug Pederson's staff in Philadelphia.
