Longtime Seahawks assistant set to become 49ers defensive coordinator
The San Francisco 49ers are on their third defensive coordinator in as many seasons, and their latest hire is a former Seattle Seahawks assistant.
Following the firing of Steve Wilks after their latest Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the 49ers are promoting Nick Sorensen from pass game coordinator to the big DC role. They’ll also be adding former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator and ex-Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley to the staff, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler.
