It was recently announced that there has been a new 49ers coach added to the staff ahead of the 2023 season. The 49ers recently lost an offensive coach, Bobby Slowik, due to him becoming the new Houston Texans Offensive Coordinator. Now the 49ers have hired Klint Kubiak to an important role on the offense’s coaching staff.
New 49ers Coach
This evening Tom Pelissero posted on Twitter that there is a new 49ers coach, with the hiring of Klint Kubiak. Some information about Kubiak is that he was the former Vikings’ Offensive Coordinator and also a former Broncos’ quarterbacks coach. His brother, Klay Kubiak is currently the 49ers’ assistant quarterbacks coach.
The #49ers are hiring Klint Kubiak to a top role on Kyle Shanahan’s offensive staff, replacing Bobby Slowik, per sources.

The new 49ers coach, Kubiak, was the Offensive Coordinator with the Vikings during the 2021 season, after coaching within the offense for years prior, according to Pro Football History. It was just this past season that Kubiak worked with the Denver Broncos as the quarterbacks’ coach and Passing Game Coordinator.
It is assumed that Kubiak will be taking over as the passing game coordinator, taking the spot that Bobby Slowik has left. Klay Kubiak has been with the team for two seasons now. This means that both Kubiak brothers will be working closely with Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, whichever quarterback becomes the starter.
It will be interesting to see how the new 49ers coach does in the 2023 season.
