The 49ers will reportedly hire Kris Kocurek as defensive line coach to replace Jeff Zgonina, who was fired from the position he held with the 49ers the past two years.
The 49ers have yet to announce the firing of Zgonina, but the club has removed Zgonina’s bio from the team’s website. Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reported the news of Kocurek's hiring. Alex Marvez from the same outlet reported on Sunday that Kocurek was expected to join the New York Jets' coaching staff.
Kocurek worked on Adam Gase’s staff with the Miami Dolphins this season.
