The 49ers are adding a high-profile name to their coaching staff. Former NFL QB Brian Griese is set to join San Francisco as their quarterbacks coach. ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Seth Wickersham were the first to report the move.
Griese will exit the ESPN Monday Night Football booth to take his first ever coaching job.
Prior to becoming a broadcaster in 2009, Griese was an 11-year NFL veteran who started 83 games for the Broncos, Dolphins, Buccaneers and Bears. He completed 62.7 percent of his throws for 19,440 yards with 119 touchdowns and 99 interceptions.
