The 49ers on Monday added a familiar name -- and someone familiar with their defense -- to the coaching staff: Ken Norton who spent seven seasons as a 49ers linebacker and won a Super Bowl with the team.
Norton, who served as the Oakland Raiders' defensive coordinator the last three seasons, has been given the title of 'assistant head coach; defense/inside linebackers.' Johnny Holland, who coached the team's linebackers last year, will become the run game specialist/outside linebackers coach.
Michael Clay, who had been an assistant strength coach, will take the title of assistant special teams coach alongside Stan Kwan.
