Update: Dirk Koetter lining up a staff in case he becomes a head coach

Jan 13, 2016 at 5:35 PM--


Update: Pro Football Talk's report of Dirk Koetter becoming the next head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have been a bit premature. Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times is saying that Koetter has simply had conversations to line up a staff in case he gets the San Francisco 49ers or Buccaneers head coaching job. Auman says that he has not yet been offered the Buccaneers job.


Koetter served as the team's offensive coordinator in 2015 and interviewed for the 49ers' head coaching vacancy on Saturday, January 9.

This is the original tweet by Pro Football Talk:


Koetter was the head football coach at Boise State University from 1998 to 2000 and at Arizona State University from 2001 to 2006, compiling a career college football record of 66-44.

In 2007, he became the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars and then held the same position for the Atlanta Falcons beginning in 2012. He spent the 2015 season with Tampa Bay.

The Buccaneers finished 20th in points scored (21.4), 5th in total yards (375.9), 17th in passing yards (240.8), and 5th in rushing yards (135.1).

The 49ers have met with Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who is now the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, Buffalo Bills assistant head coach and running backs coach Anthony Lynn, Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, and even had discussions with former Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan.

The San Francisco 49ers have been actively exploring options at safety this offseason, both in free agency and during their draft evaluations. A recent report from the San Francisco Chronicle indicated that All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga's starting position is not guaranteed for the upcoming season as he recovers from a torn ACL sustained on November 19, 2023. During a media session at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, general manager John Lynch shared an update on Hufanga's progress, noting that offseason roster additions could still occur. "Talanoa is doing really well. That's the great news," Lynch said of his young rehabbing safety. "He's rehabbing extremely well,

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game. "[It occurred] about five minutes after Dre's," Shanahan told reporters. "I think it was when [S] Ji'Ayir [Brown] got the interception, he just jumped up and cheered, very similar to Dre's, and his Achilles went too." Bullocks remained on the sideline and continued coaching throughout the

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million.

Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
