The San Francisco 49ers had started the 2024 NFL with the goal of repeating their Super Bowl finish of the previous campaign. The year ended prematurely after a disappointing performance and the organization made an irreversible decision on a member of Kyle Shanahan‘s coaching staff.
49ers owner Jed York had bluntly stated that Shanahan and general manager John Lynch were “not going anywhere,” assuring that the fruitful coach-manager duo would remain intact despite the disastrous campaign. Other members of the staff, however, would not be so fortunate.
The 49ers have made the decision to release special teams coordinator Brian Schneider, according to ESPN. The member of Shanahan’s staff will no longer be part of the San Francisco franchise for the 2025 NFL season, which will have new plans and begin implementing changes to its roster.
Special teams was a constant source of failure for the 49ers last season. Schneider was unable to solve the problems of kicker Jake Moody, and at the same time, the decision to fire him is not surprising, given the long list of penalties, turnovers and other mistakes that were committed by this part of the team.
