When you can’t beat ‘em, rent ‘em.
Apparently, that’s what the 49ers thought-about after firing defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.
By way of Taylor Wirth of NBC Sports activities Bay Space, ESPN’s Dan Graziano just lately reported that the 49ers explored luring Steve Spagnuolo away from the Chiefs.
Spagnuolo’s contract was expiring. He might have gone anyplace. He signed an extension with the Chiefs.
The Chiefs, with Spagnuolo working the protection, have overwhelmed the 49ers in two of the final 5 Tremendous Bowls, LIV and LVIII.
Coach Kyle Shanahan seemingly wished to stay with the Seattle/Cowl 3 protection. He apparently would have made an exception if he might have gotten Spagnuolo away from the Chiefs.
Spagnuolo has authored a few of the biggest defensive sport plans in Tremendous Bowl historical past. He would have been a potent weapon for the 49ers, if they need to cross paths once more with the Chiefs within the NFL Championship sport.
He’s been the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator since 2019; if anybody is aware of give you a sport plan to decelerate quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Spagnuolo does.
Out of soccer in 2018 after ending his second run with the Giants, Spagnuolo changed Bob Sutton in 2019. He has received three Tremendous Bowl rings, to associate with the one he received in 2007, when the Giants stored the Patriots from going 19-0 with an upset in Tremendous Bowl XLII.
