The San Francisco 49ers will not announce Kyle Shanahan’s coaching staff until the entire group is hired and signed, but Shanahan confirmed one name on Thursday. On Wednesday, a report came out that Shanahan was going to bring Atlanta Falcons running backs coach Bobby Turner with him for the same role. Shanahan confirmed that in the post-press conference scrum.
Shanahan told the media he had promised Turner he would bring him with him as running backs coach, whenever that might happen. He said:
“I made a commitment to Bobby Turner a long time ago that if I got a head-coaching job I was going to take him with me, regardless of where that was.
