Oh you think Lynn was brought in as a position coach and not as a coordinator or game plan specialist.

I mean it's a guess either way. AHC who will be involved with everything run game.

AHC can be assigned to either really. That said, Lynn is certainly going to be more of a helpful sounding board than Embree as an AHC. I'm far less concerned about AHC than what his real role will be...run game specialist/coordinator (in the film room) or RB coach (in the trenches 1on1 with the RB's ala Kocurek).

If Lynn is replacing McDaniel, that means he's Kyle's new right hand man. It's not that we're saying he'll never interact with running backs, it's that I would be surprised if specifically coaching running backs was part of his title.

Going from HC, to OC, to AHC Running Backs coach seems like not only a demotion, but a lower position with MORE responsibilities. It just wouldn't make sense to me.

Who said Lynn is replacing McDaniel? Lynn has been a running back coach (then AHC/RB coach) from 2003-2016. I expect Slowik to get more run into the offensive game planning. Him and his bother are moving up the ranks in the NFL much like the LaFleurs. I expect SF to had more quality control coach guys to groom as well. I can see Kubiak who's currently on the defensive side, switching to the offense down the road as well.

The only way Kyle could get Ebree to begin with, was to "promote" him to AHC (pay raise too). He was still a TE coach end of the day. I expect the same thing with Lynn. He will have his say in the running game and focus on the RBs... all while getting a pay raise for the title of AHC. I don't see him being a straight up replacement for McDainel.

We've had a pretty advanced coaching staff here for a while....Kyle was damn near making up coaching positions to have all these guys under one roof. Time to start grooming the next crop of young studs. If there's something I'm not worried about, it's Kyle finding good coaches and developing there.

At the moment, none of us knows for sure obviously, but looking at the whole picture, it's just my opinion that some kind of OC or run game coordinator role makes more sense for Lynn at this point in his career.

I'd be surprised if RBs were his responsibility too, but we shall see soon enough.

Agree on the bolded. As far as i know, all the vacancies is on the offensive side. Kyle can probably coach every position himself on the offensive side. Not worried about any vacancies on the offensive side in general, but am worried about getting excellent offensive minds and coaches in particular.

I'd live to get a Kyle Shanahan 2.0 to coach WRs and a Bobb Mckittrick 2.0 as an assistant OLine coach, for example.

Same. I'm not concerned about him finding quality coaches. I'm more concerned about the amount of time will be needed by Kyle to get them up to speed and in line in a year he should be most free to develop Lance.

good find, interesting addition...

The kinds of coaches I'm expecting Kyle to hire more of. Young, still fairly inexperienced, guys that can be developed over time and progress in the system.

Wouldn't be shocked if other hires haven't been made publicly yet either.

Why not name him special teams coach? Who is he replacing?

I know I know I'm not saying its likely or anything but how cool would it be to bring in Frankie G as RB coach 🥲

He was a secondary coach with Seattle for several years. Seems like a solid pickup.

I'm amusing just adding coaches to the staff, not necessarily replacing anyone. Who knows though.

Like the pickup...just saw the ST label and thought he'd replace Hightower initially.

he was the Seattle DB's coach for 4 years already. He has more experience there than on ST.

Jacksonville's special teams was ranked in the bottom third of the league in line with the 49ers special teams. Other than being an assistant special teams coach early in his career, Sorenson coached the Seattle secondary from 2016-2020. I think he's being hired in a role that will be more conducive for the niners.
