Offensive line coach Chris Foerster was allowed to leave the team to sign with Mike Shanahan in Washington. The 49ers quickly replaced him with former Chiefs and Seahawks OL coach Mike Solari. Foerster's line struggled terribly throughout the year, whether it was the talent or the coaching or both is yet to be seen. Solari, a native of Daly City, saw great success in Kansas City from 1997-2005 as OL coach before taking on offensive coordinator duties the next two years. Solari spend the past two years as Seattle's OL coach and was released with Pete Carroll's hiring. Previously, Solari served under the late great Bobb McKittrick on George Seifert's staff from 1992 to 1996 as tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach, so he brings a terrific resume to the table to hopefully fix what arguably is the worst offensive line in the NFL.
