The San Francisco 49ers have finally hired an offensive coordinator. Jimmy Raye has been selected by head coach Mike Singletary to become the new offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers.

I know a lot of 49ers fans are not happy with this hire and they are even starting to already second guess the hiring of Coach Singletary. One reason fans do not want this hire is because Raye as an offensive coordinator in the NFL has an average record of  6 wins and 10 losses while only scoring just under 19 points a game.

Personally I would have liked to see a younger coordinator brought in. Raye just does not have the track record in the league as a coordinator to make us fans go “Wow, what a great hire!” Time will tell I suppose.

Tom Rathman is coming back to the San Francisco 49ers! Rathman will be the new running backs coach after leaving the Oakland Raiders organization. Rathman interviewed for the position earlier today with coach Mike Singletary and general manager Scot McCloughan. Rathman takes over for Tony Nathan, whom Singletary fired after his only season on the 49ers’ staff.

Coach Singletary isn’t wasting any time to use his authority to fire and hire coaches. Look for the next hire to be an offensive coordinator which needs to be brought in soon.
