It had to have been Lombardi doing it in the 50's. Walsh did it later in the 80's

I think he did but I'm sure he wasn't the first.
Originally posted by thl408:That's a good idea. Also much better than having two separate locker rooms which was the case a few years ago.Originally posted by Phoenix49ers:SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The arrival of Kyle Shanahan as head coach and John Lynch as general manager has come with a massive rebuild of the San Francisco 49ers' roster. In fact, of the 90 players on the team's current roster, 50 of them have been brought in since Shanahan and Lynch arrived in January.http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0649731063848898791-4
But the makeover at Levi's Stadium has extended well beyond the composition of the roster.
As part of the process of instilling the culture Lynch and Shanahan seek and embracing the long and storied history of one of the NFL's most accomplished franchises, there have been a number of changes made to the team's locker room.
Most noticeable is the drastically altered locker assignments. Whereas players used to be assigned lockers by position group, now players of every group are sitting next to one another. It might seem like no big deal, but Shanahan views it as an important way for his team to build chemistry from the first player to the 90th.
"I want our team to be close and I don't want just groups to be close," Shanahan said. "You're with your group enough in your position meetings and usually, all day. Each position group's broken up and that gets real tight and then the sides of the ball are broken up. So I think the more you can mix up the locker room and you can have a running back next to a D-Lineman or a corner next to a center, I just think it mixes it up. It forces you to get a little bit out of your comfort zone and I think in the long run it makes your team a little closer."
In addition to the locker shuffle, Shanahan and Lynch have added a few more tweaks to the room. In the small hallway players enter and exit from, there's now a painted mural featuring franchise legends Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Patrick Willis, Roger Craig and Steve Young with the words "It won't be easy, but it will be worth it" underneath it.

Sure I read that Harbs had it split into two locker rooms along the lines of offense and defense.
Originally posted by Lobo49er:That was when they were still playing at the Stick. Once they moved to Levi's there were two seperate locker rooms and the choice was given to each individual player where they wanted to be.

Hmm. I wonder if things changed during his tenure, or shortly after it. I've heard some about this "two separate locker rooms", but I wonder if it was two separate "cliques" vs. where they actually sat.
During Harb's first two seasons (at least), he had a "mixed up" locker room:

"One of coach Jim Harbaugh's methods to form a family-like bond among the 49ers last year was to shuffle up the locker stalls. And for the second straight season, offensive players often are sandwiched between defensive players, or vice versa."

Harbaugh wanted to keep the team based in their old locker room, next to the practice field and save the Levi's locker room just for game days, to make it special.
York and Baalke wanted the team in the Levi's locker room permanently–where there's better equipment, more space–and as the 49ers figured out how to handle of this, many of the players just started going over to Levi's, anyway, because of the nicer environs.
The compromise: The 49ers decided to keep two locker rooms and the players can choose which one to dress in during the week.

Thanks for the clarification on this.

^ This, imho, is completely absurd. Glad this is being corrected.

That was just Harbaugh being his Harbaugh self, an old-school throwback who couldn't give a s**t about comfortable or updated locker room environment with some nice bells and whistles. Not saying it's right or wrong that's just JH. Obviously a lot of the players preferred the shiny new locker room with the bells and whistles for everything, practice and games.
