This is only a guess...but I'd bet Shanahan is going to keep one or both of last year's OL coaches, which is why we haven't heard anything in terms of interviews, possible interest in coaches outside the organization, etc.

Hightower hire is solid. Very young and diverse staff. I can dig it

I think OL coach is a crucial hire. There could be a minor overhaul of the OL in the next couple years.

Wasn't hightower with us before? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Do you think there will be more assistants added or quality control coaches?

That's what I was thinking. I really want to know who will be coaching o line though

OL coach is the one area all of us are wondering about now. We've kind of got everything else figured out.

QB - Scangarello
RB - Turner
WR - LaFleur
TE - Embree
RGC - McDaniel

DC - Saleh
DL - Zgonina
LB - Tarver (no need for two LB coaches in a 4-3)
DB - Haftley

STs - Hightower

OL coach is so huuuuuuuge. We need to understand who this is.
