As Kyle Shanahan revamps the 49ers coaching staff, he is expected to bring Bobby Turner with him from the Atlanta Falcons as the running backs coach, a role held the past eight seasons by long-time Niner Tom Rathman.
The 49ers are looking to keep Rathman involved in some capacity, according to a source. Rathman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Turner, 67, has vast experience as a running backs coach while working with both Kyle Shanahan and his father, Mike. Turner served in that role the Falcons the past two years after doing so in Washington (2010-14) and Denver (1995-2009).
