SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — New 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh has hired away three coaches from his former Stanford staff to join him in the NFL.
The 49ers named Greg Roman offensive coordinator, Vic Fangio defensive coordinator and Tim Drevno offensive line coach. The moves were expected by Harbaugh, who received a five-year deal as San Francisco’s new coach last Friday to replace the fired Mike Singletary. Harbaugh was among the most sought after coaches this winter following a 12-1 season in his fourth year at Stanford capped with a 40-12 Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech.
New Stanford coach David Shaw acknowledged during his introductory news conference Thursday he would have spots to fill on his staff.
