It looks like the San Francisco 49ers are losing an assistant from the team's coaching staff. Former 49ers head coach, Chip Kelly, who is now with UCLA, is hiring San Francisco's assistant defensive line coach Vince Oghobaase, according to a report by Sports Illustrated.

Former 49ers quarterback Thad Lewis will also be joining Kelly's staff. Lewis was among the players signed by San Francisco during Kelly's time as the head coach but was placed on injured reserve before the start of the 2016 season. Lewis also played for Kelly with the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Tuesday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn't anticipate any changes to his coaching staff other than something similar to the situation with Oghobaase.

According to Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda, the San Francisco 49ers are among the teams intrigued by UCLA edge rusher Oluwafemi Oladejo, who is steadily climbing NFL draft boards.
