49ers DC reportedly the hottest candidate on head coach market
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans has reportedly become one of the hottest candidates in the head coach market and has meetings with four teams set for this week.
The 49ers head into the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL playoffs a serious contender to reach and win the Super Bowl in February. Surely, the play of rookie quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey has been pivotal in their red-hot play over the last month. However, it is their defense that has led them to their current 11-game win streak.
The San Francisco 49ers averaged the fewest yards per game. They were third in takeaways and led the NFL with a +13 turnover differential. No unit is more ferocious and feared and at the end of the day, they have the ultimate title trump card because the notion that defenses win championships still holds true.
The mastermind behind this elite unit is two-time Pro Bowler DeMeco Ryans, and it seems that the NFL has taken notice as all of the organizations with head coach openings are interested in acquiring the 38-year-old’s services.
