49ers openings: TE coach and run-game needs

The San Francisco 49ers face a pivotal coaching shake-up as tight ends coach and run game coordinator Brian Fleury departs for the Seattle Seahawks to become their offensive coordinator—will this loss disrupt Kyle Shanahan’s offense, or does opportunity await with staff reshuffling? Brian Peacock and Eric Crocker break down Fleury’s rapid rise, his unconventional path from defensive coach to run game architect, and potential replacements like veteran coach Jon Embry. The episode questions how the NFL’s worst 49ers run game under Shanahan might shape the team’s 2026 strategy and staff moves.

Plus, get the latest on Tyreek Hill’s release from the Miami Dolphins—is this dynamic wide receiver a realistic fit for the 49ers despite age, recent injury, and off-field headlines? The discussion also covers franchise tags, looming free agent cuts, and the future of Eddy Pinero as San Francisco’s trusted kicker. Stay ahead on all things 49ers, from coaching strategy to bold offseason moves.

San Francisco 49ers fans are treated to daily news and analysis with Locked On 49ers, hosted by football analyst Brian Peacock and former NFL/AFL cornerback Eric Crocker.
