Brandon Staley, who was fired as the Chargers head coach last season, has landed a new position as assistant head coach/defense with the San Francisco 49ers. Despite being considered for several defensive coordinator positions, Staley did not secure any of them. However, he spoke to the media for the first time in his new role on Wednesday.
Staley’s appointment as assistant head coach/defense is a significant shift for him, but he views it as an opportunity to align himself with the right people such as Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch, who share his vision for leading a successful football team. Nick Sorenson will remain the coordinator, and Staley will serve in various roles and act as a sounding board for him. This change represents a necessary step for Staley to eventually land another head coaching job.
Staley previously spent only one year as a coordinator before his stint with the Chargers during which they fell short in key moments. Taking a step back and assuming a different role was seen as necessary for him to achieve his goal of becoming a head coach again. Joining a team like the 49ers, who have a different reputation and strong foundation, provides him with an opportunity to take that first step towards his dream.
