With Robert Saleh gone, expect the #49ers to promote LBs coach DeMeco Ryans as their new defensive coordinator, source said. An impressive young coach.

No real reason why, changing coordinators usually has a trickle down effect for position coaches.

I think he's said he doesn't want to be a DC, he's happy as a DL coach. Keep DeMeco as DC, Kocurek as DL, and get Bobby Turner back as RB coach, so Juice re-signs. Need a new QB coach, ST Coordinator, and OL coach though. Plus will need new Pass Game Coordinator and maybe Run Game Coordinator.

Kocurek connects with his players in part because they know he has no aspirations to be a head coach or a coordinator. His passion is the trenches, and it comes through in every conversation or text message. He is what he is -- a person who played D-line in high school, in college and for two seasons with the Tennessee Titans -- and he's fine with that. He understands not only the position but the mindset to be successful, which is why he demands that his players give to him the same things he gives to them: energy, focus and an unwavering commitment to be better than they were the day before.

Hoping we keep McDaniel. However, special teams is number 1. Hoping we can get Scangarello back as QB Coach.
