The 49ers just hired former defensive backs coach, head coach and ESPN analyst Eric Mangini, according to ESPN.
Mangini will be an offensive assistant for the 49ers. He will help Jim Harbaugh, Greg Roman, John Morton and Geep Chryst …
Extra Point:The Mangini hiring doesn't exactly come as a surprise. The 49ers likely felt that adding a defensive specialist to the offense will help them cope with how defenses will attack the 49ers this season. While other teams are trying to figure out the read option and pistol offense, the 49ers are trying to stay a step head of other teams.
