The New York Jets may have nearly poached another talented coach away from the San Francisco 49ers — this time before he was officially a part of Kyle Shanahan's staff. Tom Pelissero reports that San Francisco officially agreed to terms with Rich Scangarello to return to the team as its quarterbacks coach. However, Robert Saleh and the Jets made a "hard push" to steal him away.
The #49ers officially agreed to terms with Rich Scangarello as their QB coach Wednesday — but not before the #Jets and Robert Saleh made a hard push to pull him away, per sources. In the end, Scangarello opted to rejoin Kyle Shanahan.
Saleh, San Francisco's former defensive coordinator, has been working to build his coaching staff in New York. That included former 49ers assistants Mike LaFleur, who will serve as his offensive coordinator, and John Benton, who will serve as the offensive line coach.
Scangarello left the 49ers after the 2018 season to become the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. He served as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles this past season.
Before his two-year stint as the 49ers' quarterbacks coach from 2017-18, Scangarello spent time as an assistant with the Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders. He is credited as the coach most responsible for getting Jimmy Garoppolo up to speed on the offense after San Francisco traded for the quarterback in 2017.
