Bobby Slowik is in his 10th year in the NFL and first as the team's offensive passing game coordinator. He spent the 2021 season as San Francisco's offensive passing game specialist after working the previous two seasons (2019-20) as a 49ers offensive assistant and as the team's defensive quality control coach for two years (2017-18). Slowik has also worked in the NFL with Washington as a defensive assistant (2011-13) and video assistant (2010).
The 2021 San Francisco passing attack saw WR Deebo Samuel earn Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors and the first Pro Bowl selection of his career.

That season, Jackson registered career highs in tackles (35), sacks (4.5) and interceptions (four). That same season, Kerrigan earned his first career Pro Bowl selection after finishing with a then career-high 8.5 sacks and also picked up his second career interception return for a touchdown.
Slowik assisted Washington's defense in 2011 as the unit allowed 339.8 yards per game, ranking fifth in the NFC. Washington also ranked fourth in the NFC, giving up 221.1 passing yards per game.
He first entered the NFL as a video assistant with Washington in 2010 and was responsible for the breakdown of upcoming opponents. He helped the video department's operations, which included assisting the coaching and scouting staff.
A native of Green Bay, WI, Slowik attended Michigan Tech University, where he played wide receiver for the Huskies and earned All-GLIAC honors in 2008. His brother, Steve, is an area scout with the 49ers and his father, Bob, is a former defensive coordinator in the NFL and current defensive coordinator for the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL.
