The San Francisco 49ers are moving on from veteran running backs coach Tom Rathman, with new head coach Kyle Shanahan hiring Bobby Turner away from the Atlanta Falcons for the same role. Additionally, they are hiring Mike McDaniel to serve as the run game coordinator. McDaniel had been listed as coaching wide receivers previously, so I am checking with Falcons folks to get a better handle on things.
Rathman was viewed by many as one of the best RB coaches in the NFL, but by all accounts, Turner has a similar reputation. He is reportedly going to be one of the highest paid RB coaches in the league.
