Ken Norton Jr, who was fired by the Raiders after week 11 this past season, has found a new home. He lands on his feet across The Bay with the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced today.
Norton gets a promotion of sorts as he’s been named Assistant Head Coach - Defense as well as Inside Linebackers coach.
“Ken brings a great deal of knowledge and experience to our team having spent more than two decades as a NFL player and coach,” 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan said in a statement.
