49ers hire three more coaches, two away from Falcons

Kyle Shanahan brought along two more former Falcons coaches Monday.

Mike McDaniel and Mike LaFleur were among three coaching hires the 49ers announced Monday.

Both offensive assistants for Atlanta last season, McDaniel will be run game specialist while LaFleur will coach wide receivers.

The 49ers also announced the hiring of Taylor Embree, son of assistant head coach/tight ends coach Jon Embree, as offensive quality control coach.

McDaniel, 33, started his coaching career as an intern for Kyle’s father, Mike Shanahan, with the Broncos in 2005. He worked with the younger Shanahan from 2006-08 while with the Texans and spent two seasons as running backs coach for the UFL’s Sacramento Mountain Lions.
