Veteran DL coach Kris Kocurek, who coached the #Dolphins defensive linemen last season, will be joining the #49ers as their defensive line coach, source said. He's known in the coaching business as one of the best DL coaches in the NFL.

Dolphins always got a lot out of a little the past 5 years and Detroit's best part of the defense had always been their dline. I'm not mad at it.

No thanks

Would rather have Robert Quinn than a guy who never plays.

IF.

They had offers at the deadline and did not move him. So no guarantee they move on now.

Who has he helped develop?

Edit: Just saw he was the lions line coach from 09-17, I'll look there.

Looks like from 09-17 they drafted (for defensive line players)
Sammie Hill
Suh
Willie Young
Nick Fairley
Ronnell Lewis
Ziggy
Delvin Taylor
Larry Webster

Those were the guys drafted for him in his tenure, I'll look up FA signings now
