Tom Rathman is gone, but the longtime 49ers fullback and running backs coach won’t be forgotten: The 49ers will make sure of that by inducting Rathman into the team’s Hall of Fame this fall.
CEO Jed York announced the news, via Twitter, on Tuesday, about two months after Rathman and the team amicably parted.
“No one epitomizes being a 49er more than Tom Rathman,” York said.
Rathman, 54, a 49ers assistant since 2009, left in February after head coach Kyle Shanahan brought running backs coach Bobby Turner with him from Atlanta.
