Vic Fangio is unlikely to join the 49ers coaching staff

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco tweeted that former 49ers defensive coordinator and Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio and San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch recently played a round of golf together. That’s one way to start a tweet.

There have been whispers that Fangio would join the Niners coaching staff to some capacity in recent weeks. But, according to Maiocco, “there’s nothing happening along lines of Fangio joining the 49ers staff.”

Fangio likely would have been a “senior defensive analyst.” However, I doubt he wants to be a position coach at this stage of his career.
