The San Francisco 49ers are set to announce their next defensive coordinator soon, according to a report from The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, potentially erasing their biggest domino off the board heading into NFL Combine week.
Hear the 49ers might be closing in on a DC. Not sure when there'll be an announcement, but could be soon.

While the 49ers have been mum about their process, with no official interviews being announced, there are several potential options that could make sense, given their connection to head coach Kyle Shanahan and familiarity with the defensive style.
