Maiocco: Much of 49ers’ 2015 staff has moved out

Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area is reporting that much of the San Francisco 49ers staff from last year has packed up and moved out. On Thursday, the 49ers hired former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly to be their new head coach. It was expected that he would bring in his own choices for his staff and that much of Jim Tomsula's assistants would not be retained.
Kelly met with defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, but there is no word yet on how that meeting went.
Maiocco says that Kelly is expected to meet with running backs coach Tom Rathman next week. Rathman has had two stints as the 49ers' running backs coach. One was from 1997 through 2002 and then since 2009.
Earlier today, Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee reported that linebackers coach Jason Tarver may also stick around.
The following photo was posted on the team's official Twitter account today, which may be the first of Kelly at the 49ers facility.

49ers mailbag: Who replaces Hufanga? Which players need to step up? Did Danny Gray fall out of favor?

San Francisco is without one of its starting safeties. Talanoa Hufanga suffered a torn ACL against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss the remainder of the season. Rookie Ji'Ayir Brown will start in his place.
The 49ers took the field without starting guard Spencer Burford, who is dealing with a knee injury. He was among the team's seven inactive players for the matchup.

49ers Notebook: Nine years later, 49ers get Thanksgiving revenge over Seahawks; Shanahan, Purdy discuss key throws vs. Seahawks; What happened to Christian McCaffrey's helmet?
It took nine years, but the San Francisco 49ers finally got some payback on Thursday night for the Seattle Seahawks feasting on turkey after a win at Levi's Stadium in 2014.
The Seahawks' 19-3 win over the 49ers on Thanksgiving in 2014 was the last time either team played on Thanksgiving before Thursday night, and after that game then-Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman dug into the postgame turkey at the 50-yard line of Levi's Stadium at a time when the rivalry between the two teams was at a peak. The 49ers flipped the script on Thursday, notching a 31-13 win over the Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle that was followed by a slew of 49ers getting their fill of Thanksgiving turkey, courtesy of NBC.
