After just one season as the 49ers defensive coordinator, Nick Sorensen has been fired and will not be retained on the coaching staff in another capacity. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed a desire to keep Sorensen as the special teams coordinator.

Robert Saleh cannot personally create turnovers, rush the passer or stop the run. His return as the 49ers’ D-coordinator is no guarantee of success.

According to ESPN, the New York Jets and former San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator Steve Wilks have agreed to terms on a contract.

The Cowboys, having moved on from head coach Mike McCarthy while also allowing incumbent special-teams coordinator "Bones'' Fassel to take the same job with the Tennessee Titans, are planning to bring 49ers ex Nick Sorensen to The Star.

Robert Saleh set a standard with the energy he brought to the sideline, and the San Francisco 49ers are counting on his exuberance to revive the defense in 2025.

Robert Saleh was sacked by the New York Jets, and while all eyes are on the Aaron Glenn era, it’s not over for the former head coach in the NFL. Over the past few days while the dust settled on the hirings of Glenn as coach and Darry Mougey as general manager in New York, Saleh has returned home… in a sense.

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly hiring former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen as their special teams coordinator, according

According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Dallas Cowboys are set to hire former San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen as their new special teams coordinator.

Brant Boyer was announced Monday as the 49ers’ new special teams coordinator, a role he held the past nine season with the Jets, where he overlapped and worked under coach Robert Saleh, who was re-hired Friday as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator.

Brant Boyer's history of success and attacking play style is exactly what the San Francisco 49ers' special teams unit needs.

According to NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco, Sorensen won’t be returning to the 49ers coaching staff after being fired as their defensive coordinator after the 2024 season. Shanahan told reporters at his end of season press conference that he hoped Sorensen would stay on the staff, possibly as the special teams coordinator.
