"49ers Consider Chiefs and Chargers Coaches for Defensive Coordinator Role"
The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly interviewing Kansas City Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt for their defensive coordinator position. Merritt, who has been with the Chiefs since 2019, has also worked with the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Arizona Cardinals. In a previous interview, he expressed a reluctance to pursue a coordinator job while his children were young, but with his youngest now in high school, the timing may be right for him to take on a new opportunity.
