The San Francisco 49ers rolled out their three new coordinators to the media on Thursday, although two are friendly faces. Kyle Shanahan and the front office seem to be "starting over" on the coaching side of things after relieving Nick Sorenson and Brian Schneider of their duties and promoting an offensive coordinator, something the team hasn't officially had since Mike McDaniel left after the 2021 season.

49ers Experience: 49ers and Cowboys are both ready for next chapter in their rivalry Steve Young, Jerry Rice, Vernon Davis, and an entourage of A-list San Francisco 49ers stars roamed the sidelines before Week 5 a year ago. It was a "who's who" before San Francisco took on the Dallas Cowboys. Rightfully so. The 49ers came into that game 4-0 and the Cowboys right behind them at 3-1. It was the biggest test of the season up to that point for Brock Purdy and his offense. He aced it.
San Francisco 49ers set to face off against Kansas City Chiefs

Oct 19, 2024 | cbsnews.com | Matt Lively

Week 7 could represent the best game played at Levi's Stadium this season as the Kansas City Chiefs are coming to town. Patrick Mahomes and company are 5-0, one of two undefeated teams left in the NFL. Fans probably remember the last time these two got together. It was in February in the desert, and there was a big trophy on the line. They played more than four quarters. Does that one ring a bell? Right off the top, the game won't merit any revenge for the loss in Super Bowl 58.

Game Day: 49ers defense dominates in 'get right' game Nick Bosa walked into his postgame press conference last Sunday confident after a win over the New England Patriots and hopeful that the "sky is falling" narrative surrounding the San Francisco 49ers would be put to an end. "If you look online, you'd think the building's burning down," Bosa said. It was the perfect way for the defensive end to tell The Faithful to R-E-L-A-X.

More injuries plague 49ers with Kittle, Ward questionable for game against Rams The last time the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers met, head coaches Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan were without some starters. That was Week 18 of the 2023 season, and both teams had already clinched playoff berths. Guys like Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, George Kittle, and Cooper Kupp all sat out with the postseason in their sights. This time, star players will be absent yet again.

49ers Experience: Rookie WR Jacob Cowing landed with the team he grew up rooting for The San Francisco 49ers didn't need Christian McCaffrey, a historic day from Brock Purdy, or a defensive shutout to prove to the rest of the league that a hangover will not exist in 2024. Instead, the Niners rode Jordan Mason and Jake Moody, two unlikely heroes, to a blowout win over the New York Jets on Monday night to move them to 1-0.
