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.

The San Francisco 49ers hired former New York Jets special teams coordinator Brant Boyer on Monday to take over a unit that has struggled for years under coach Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan fired special teams coordinator Brian Schneider following a season in which mistakes in the kicking game contributed to a 6-11 record.

It turns out that Robert Saleh isn’t the only ex-New York Jets ... he’s held with the Jets since 2016. Boyer, who played 10 seasons in the NFL, will replace Brian Schneider.

Aaron Glenn is in the house. The job he was most interested in is now his, and he's already taking a deep dive into the workload as Jets head coach in bringing his staff together and micro-evaluating the roster with new GM Darren Mougey.

The Bruins tied the game, oh so briefly, on Elias Lindholm's shorthanded goal 11 seconds into the third period before the Jets responded three times in five-plus minutes.

Seattle quarterback’s contract, relationship with his former Seahawks coach and Smith’s curious postings makes one wonder.

Woody Johnson confirmed earlier this week the Jets are adjusting their power structure. Both Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey will report to ownership, signaling a shift from the Joe Douglas-Robert Saleh regime — in which only the GM did so.

Glenn, 52, returns to New York as he has been hired by the team as their next head coach. His arrival was met with plenty of excitement because of his prior connections with the Jets as a player. Now his first day in New York is in the books with his introductory press conference that went down on Monday.

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.
