Kyle Shanahan’s initial six hires to his 49ers coaching staff announced Friday, most of whom will work prominently with him on the offensive side: Rich Scangarello (quarterbacks), Jon Embree (tight ends), Bobby Turner (running backs) and T.C. McCartney (offensive assistant).
Ray Wright replaces Mark Uyeyama as the 49ers head strength and conditioning coach, a role Wright previously held when Shanahan worked in Washington and Houston.
Nick Kray, an administrative assistant to Shanahan, rounded out the initial hires.
Perhaps the most crucial opening on Shanahan’s staff is at defensive coordinator, and he apparently may have that role shared by Robert Saleh and Jerome Henderson, who were both interviewing Thursday for it, according to the NFL Network.
