INDIANAPOLIS – Shortly after quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello left the 49ers to become Vic Fangio’s offensive coordinator with the Denver Broncos, it appeared Mike LaFleur was the favorite to fill the position.
LaFleur was the 49ers’ passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach last season. He worked with the quarterbacks for the 49ers-coached South team at the Senior Bowl.
LaFleur will no longer be solely in charge of the wide receivers with the 49ers, and he will not coach the quarterbacks, either.
Instead, LaFleur will have a myriad of duties as he retains the position of passing game coordinator.
