– Klay Kubiak stays in SF: The 49ers OC has pulled himself from head-coach consideration, despite Raiders and Steelers showing interest. He prefers to work with Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco.
– Steelers pivot to McCarthy: Pittsburgh is moving in a different direction, hiring former Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy as their new boss.
– O-line and weapons upgrades eyed in SF: Steve Young says the Niners need an upgraded offensive line (ideally Top 3 to Top 10) to boost Brock Purdy. And while Christian McCaffrey is a star, SF wants to diversify the weaponry around their young QB.
– McCaffrey’s workload noted: He piled up 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 17 total TDs across 17 games this season.
– Jauan Jennings’ future uncertain: Jennings posted 55 catches, 643 yards, and 9 TDs in 15 games. Purdy says he’s hopeful Jennings returns, calling him a “guy” who brings toughness and production.
– Takeaway: With Kubiak staying, SF focuses on fortifying the line and surrounding Purdy with more weapons, while the rest of the league reshuffles behind the scenes. 🔥🏈📊
