Kyle Shanahan was named the 20th head coach of the San Francisco 49ers on February 6, 2017. Shanahan signed a multi-year contract extension with the 49ers in September of 2023.

The 2024 San Francisco 49ers saw DL Nick Bosa, FB Kyle Juszczyk, TE George Kittle and LB Fred Warner selected to the Pro Bowl, with Warner earning Associated Press First-Team All-Pro and Juszczyk and Kittle earning Second-Team All-Pro honors. Shanahan again led a top offense in 2024 by directing a unit that finished in the top five in the NFL in yards per game (376.3 - fourth) for the fifth time in his tenure with the 49ers. San Francisco’s offense was led by the receiving duo of WR Jauan Jennings and Kittle. Jennings finished the season with career highs in receptions (77), receiving yards (975) and receiving touchdowns (six), while Kittle led the team in receptions (78), receiving yards (1,106) and receiving touchdowns (eight). Kittle’s 1,106 receiving yards marked his second-consecutive and fourth overall season with 1,000-or-more receiving yards, marking the third-most seasons in franchise history with at least 1,000 receiving yards and making him one of five tight ends in NFL history to register four such seasons in a career.

Robert Saleh (SAH-luh) enters his 21^st NFL season and returns to the 49ers for his fifth season as the team’s defensive coordinator.

Before returning to the 49ers, Saleh spent three-plus seasons (2021-24) as head coach of the New York Jets. While at the helm in New York, Saleh guided four different players in their first four years in the NFL to Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors (WR Braxton Berrios, CB Sauce Gardner & DL Quinnen Williams) and Pro Bowl appearances (Gardner, LB Jermaine Johnson II & Williams). The Jets defense excelled with Saleh, ranking in the top 10 in the NFL in multiple categories over the 2022 and 2023 seasons. During that span (2022-23), Saleh’s Jets ranked first in passing yards allowed per game (178.9) and opponent yards per play (4.7), second in total defense (301.7) and sixth in opponent yards per rush (4.1). The unit also tallied 93 sacks and 29 interceptions during that time, tied for the eighth and 10th-most, respectively, in the NFL. Over the first five games of the 2024 season, Saleh’s Jets ranked first in passing yards allowed per game (136.6), tied-for-first in opponent yards per play (4.3), second in total defense (255.8) and tied-for-sixth in third-down defense (31.7%).

He spent the 2024 season as San Francisco’s offensive passing game specialist and served two seasons (2022-23) as the 49ers assistant quarterbacks coach after spending the 2021 season as a defensive quality control coach with the team. Kubiak joined the 49ers after spending the previous three years (2018-20) as the head coach at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory (Houston, TX). He also served as the school’s offensive coordinator from 2013-15 and for the 2017 season.

Brant Boyer enters his 14^th season as an NFL coach and his first as special teams coordinator for the 49ers. He joins the 49ers after spending the previous nine seasons as the special teams coordinator for the New York Jets.

During his Jets tenure (2016-24), Boyer led a special teams unit that ranked tied-for-second in total touchdowns (nine), second in blocked punts (eight) and tied-for-fifth in special teams points scored (63) and opponent kickoff return average (21.8). Under Boyer’s guidance, two players (WR Braxton Berrios - 2021 & WR Andre Roberts - 2018) earned Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors as returners, while three players (CB Justin Hardee - 2023, Roberts - 2019 and K Jason Myers - 2019) made Pro Bowl appearances. In 2024, Boyer led a special teams unit that ranked fourth in yards per kickoff return (30.3) and seventh in opponent yards per kickoff return (26.1). Under Boyer’s guidance, WR Xavier Gipson registered 266 total punt return yards and 489 kickoff return yards, ranking seventh and eighth, respectively, in the NFL.
