The 49ers are hiring Brian Griese as the team’s new quarterbacks coach, Adam Schefter reports.
Griese has spent the past two years as a color commentator on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” broadcasting team.
Griese played 11 years as a quarterback in the NFL before joining ESPN in 2009. He spent the next 11 years as a member of ESPN’s college football coverage, then joined Steve Levy and Louis Riddick in the network’s “Monday Night Football” booth in 2020.
While Griese is leaving, Riddick is also interviewing for NFL jobs and is a candidate for the Steelers’ open general manager position.
