National Reporter Clears Air on 49ers’ QB Coach’s Exit Explains as Kyle Shanahan Promotes Klint Kubiak to OC

Brian Griese, the 49ers’ QB coach, is stepping away from the team. But don’t go thinking there’s some juicy drama behind it. Nope, this is all about Griese wanting a break from the grind. According to sources, “there was no ouster of Griese, who was well regarded by the team’s QBs. Griese didn’t want to coach anymore.” And get this, he even turned down an interview for the Jets head coaching job earlier this year. Looks like he’s just ready to hit pause on football for a bit, and honestly? Can’t blame him. Coaching is a 24/7 gig, and sometimes you just need to step back.
