49ers interviewed Chris Banjo for special teams coordinator

The 49ers continue their search for a new special teams coordinator.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, San Francisco has interviewed Denver assistant special teams coach Chris Banjo for the role.

Banjo, 34, is only two years into his coaching career after finishing his time as a player. After playing for head coach Sean Payton with the Saints from 2016-2018, Banjo was hired as after Payton took the Broncos job in 2023.

An undrafted free agent, Banjo began his career with the Jaguars before spending 2013-2016 with the Packers. He finished his playing career with the Cardinals from 2019-2022.

The 49ers previously announced they interviewed Lions assistant special teams coach Jett Modkins for the vacant special teams coordinator position.

The club fired Brian Schneider after three seasons earlier this month.
