KJ Wright coaching the Niners Linebackers now

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Looks like the Niners raided the Seahawks and hooked up with KJ Wright and now KJ is an Assistant Linebackers Defensive Quality Control positional coach type thing….

Interesting….

What say you, Dot Net????!!

They run the cover 3 that got us, and of late them, to the sb. KJ is a perfect fit here.

Good for him if he’s interested in getting into coaching. Great opportunity to start building his resume.

This is... painful.

Good for him, but... the Niners? The Niners?

Interesting, since KJ earlier turned down a coaching job with Pete when he retired.

Kj gave Seattle first dibs, but McDonald brought in some guy from BAL. You can’t fault kj for going where the opportunity is.

Happy for him…although it stings.

Good for him. It’s a business and he gets to work with a great LB crew.

One of the best linebackers to play in the league now will coach the best linebacking duo in the NFL.

This is a gut punch … to say the least. But I get it

I don’t blame McDonald either. I am sure he want to start out with a clean house and not leave much Pete residual. KJ is a Pete guy. Plus MM had history with Baltimore guy. I can’t fault KJ but the Niners. That stings. Then again much our historic defense went NFW West as well (Sherman, Wagner). Oh well.
