The San Francisco 49ers have handled their first piece of coaching business this offseason. The team is hiring Kris Kocurek to serve as defensive line coach, according to NFL reporter Adam Caplan. We learned on Sunday that the team was not bringing back Jeff Zgonina after he spent two seasons in the role.
Kocurek spent last season coaching the Miami Dolphins defensive line. Kocurek was set to join Adam Gase with the New York Jets, according to reporter Alex Marvez, but it would appear the 49ers swooped in with their own offer.
