Charlotte 49ers head coach Brad Lambert announced the hiring of Dean Hood as the 49ers Assistant Head Coach and Tight Ends Coach. Hood spent the last eight years as the head coach at Eastern Kentucky and also served as Wake Forest’s Defensive Coordinator prior to joining the 49ers.
"He’ll bring a lot to us and our whole program," Lambert said. "He’s run a program and he’ll be good with our offensive staff. He brings a good defensive mind to the offense. He’s excited about being on offense and coaching the tight ends and he’s a big special teams guy, so he’ll be a huge asset.
