It now makes sense why Brian Griese passed on a head coaching interview with the Jets. The 49ers announced Tuesday their coaching staff for the 2025 season and Griese was surprisingly absent from the list, as Mick Lombardi will take over his role as the quarterbacks coach.

The San Francisco 49ers are intent on bouncing back after enduring a tough season in 2024 that saw them deal with a plethora of injuries and miss out on the playoffs entirely just a year after they very nearly won Super Bowl 58.

The San Francisco 49ers have promoted assistant Klay Kubiak into the offensive coordinator role that had been vacant the past two seasons and replaced Brian Griese as quarterbacks coach.
