The San Francisco 49ers have appointed Matt Eberflus as their assistant head coach of defense, following his previous roles as defensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts and head coach of the Chicago Bears. Eberflus, known for his strength in developing linebackers, is expected to enhance the 49ers’ linebacker play and may influence the team’s pursuit of a 3-technique interior pass rusher. His defensive track record includes notable achievements with players like Shaquille Leonard, but he faced challenges with the Bears, including a record 14-game losing streak.
