The San Francisco 49ers coaching staff remains a work in progress, even as Chip Kelly prepares to meet Bay Area media for the first time. The latest name on the short list of candidates for a job is now former Miami Dolphins running backs coach Jeff Nixon. Matt Maiocco reported that while Tom Rathman is expected to return as running backs coach, Kelly wants to figure out a way to include Nixon on his staff.
Nixon spent the past five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, coaching running backs. He spent the four seasons prior to that coaching running backs and special teams with the Philadelphia Eagles.
