While the Los Angeles Rams prepare to host the Minnesota Vikings for a wildcard playoff game on Monday night, the rest of the NFC West is turning to the offseason and shuffling coaching staffs.
San Francisco 49ers head coach, Kyle Shanahan, reportedly fired two coordinators ahead of the 2025 offseason. Special teams coordinator Brian Schneider is on his way out as well as first-year defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen. The report indicates that the 49ers hope to retain Sorensen on the staff as they look for a new lead on defense.
Nick Sorensen will not return as 49ers defensive coordinator, a league source said.
