Brian Griese is out after three years as the team’s quarterbacks coach, working for coach Kyle Shanahan. Mick Lombardi has been selected to replace Griese as the primary tutor for quarterback Brock Purdy, who has spent his entire career with Griese as his position coach.
Griese joined the 49ers after working in the broadcast booth with Monday Night Football. Before that, Griese called college football games for ESPN.
It remains to be seen whether Griese, who spent 11 years in the NFL as a player, takes another coaching job, or whether he returns to broadcasting. Per reports this was his decision to step down, but would you step down in a year we could actually make it to the Super Bowl in our home stadium? Yeah. I don’t think so.
