Tarver served as the defensive coordinator under then-head coach Allen with the Oakland Raiders (2012-14), before spending the past two seasons as the outside linebackers coach with the San Francisco 49ers.

The 42-year-old Tarver broke into the NFL coaching ranks in 2001 as an offensive quality control coach, a position he held until 2003 before becoming the 49ers assistant running backs.
