The San Francisco 49ers have begun their offseason changes by firing special teams coordinator Brian Schneider, following a disastrous 2024 season where the unit ranked last in the NFL.
Schneider’s tenure was marked by frequent errors, including missed field goals and costly penalties, contributing to the Niners finishing 32nd in expected points added on special teams.
Despite Coach Kyle Shanahan's previous confidence in Schneider, the special teams struggles were persistent and led to a decision to part ways as the team seeks improvement.
The Niners' ongoing injuries affected the special teams unit severely, as Coach Shanahan noted the challenges of integrating various players throughout the season.
