Report: 49ers hire Steve Wilks as defensive coordinator
The 49ers are going outside the organization to replace DeMeco Ryans as defensive coordinator.
He was elevated one day after Carolina lost at home 37-15 to the 49ers, leaving the Panthers with a 1-4 record. Carolina went 6-6 the rest of the season to finish 7-10. Wilks was considered for the head coaching job that instead went to Frank Reich. In taking over the 49ers’ defense, Wilks will coordinate a unit that finished the 2022 season giving up the fewest yards and points of any team in the NFL.
