They are led by second-year head coach Biff Poggi.

On December 4, offensive line coach and assistant head coach Kyle DeVan accepted the offensive line coach job at his alma mater. On December 7 the 49ers announced the hiring of Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster for the same position at Charlotte. He also takes on assistant head coaching duties from the departing DeVan.
