The San Francisco 49ers have hired Brant Boyer as their new special teams coordinator. Boyer served as the Jets’ special teams coordinator from 2016 to 2024 and spent the last three years working under former head coach Robert Saleh, who joined the 49ers as their defensive coordinator this winter.

The 49ers immediately fired special teams coordinator Brian Schneider after the season and aimed to replace him with fired defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen. Instead, Sorensen is leaving San Francisco which opened the door for Boyer to step into the vacancy at 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.

As Robert Saleh brings in his own assistant coaches, the San Francisco 49ers are forced to say goodbye to part of their current staff.
