One of the more intriguing developments took place on the 800 level of Levi's Stadium in the 49ers' coaches booth. Last week was the first time since the 2007 season that Shanahan did not call plays. He handed that duty over to Klay Kubiak, 35, the 49ers' offensive passing game specialist. On the other side, Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak called the plays. Klint Kubiak, 37, served as the 49ers' passing game coordinator last season before Saints coach Dennis Allen hired him this year to run the offense.
