Former Monday Night Football analyst Brian Griese is leaving ESPN to become the Quarterbacks Coach for the 49ers, sources tell @SethWickersham and me. Griese and Kyle Shanahan have known each other for years; Griese played QB in Tampa when Shanahan was on the Bucs coaching staff.

New 49ers QB coach Brian Griese played under Mike Shanahan with Broncos — likely first met a young Kyle Shanahan there.

Denver drafted Griese in 1998. He was a rookie in John Elway's final season.

49ers' dream for Trey Lance is to replicate that Elway/Young Shanahan model

True, @alexmarvez … But Walsh told me month before '98 draft that if he had 1st pick, he'd have passed on QB, then taken Brian Griese later.

He's got a big assignment to work with a #3 overall pick if he pulls it off and Trey balls out he could be a fast riser in the coaching ranks.

Shanahan knows him from TB.

Obviously you want to build a staff of guys you're familiar with, but its a little annoying that Shanahan always hires his former guys. Was Brian Griese really the best QB coach available? Who knows, maybe he'll be great.
