On this episode of “49ers Talk”, hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the top candidates to replace Steve Wilks as 49ers defensive coordinator.
Former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders appears to be over.
The NFL is suspending Garoppolo for the first two games of the 2024 season after the veteran quarterback violated the league’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy, ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Friday morning before the news became official.
The violation is due to Garoppolo’s use of prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption.
Garoppolo also will be released by the Raiders, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported shortly after, citing a source.

John Elway Makes Bold Prediction About Kyle Shanahan
The 2023 NFL Season has officially wrapped up with the Kansas City Chiefs being named the winners of the Super Bowl.
While this was an exciting day for the Chiefs, it was also a tough one for the San Francisco 49ers.
They were touted as the NFL’s best team throughout the season, having an elite defense and offense.
Despite all of the conversation surrounding them, the 49ers were unable to win the big game.
Now, they are in the offseason like every other team in the league, hoping to put the right pieces together to get the job done in 2024.
There are several roster questions the 49ers will need to answer before next season, but the team can feel confident that they will be moving forward with Kyle Shanahan as their head coach once again.
When looking ahead to the next few seasons, many people are confident in Shanahan’s role as head coach, including John Elway.
According to Elway via The Adam Schefter Podcast, “Kyle Shanahan’s going to win a World Championship at some time.”
Despite falling in the Super Bowl twice as a head coach, Elway believes Shanahan has the necessary skills to close this game out at some point in his career.
Shanahan is often touted as one of the best, if not the best coach in the NFL.
Many of his assistants and coordinators have gone on to get head coaching gigs, a testament to the kind of teacher and leader he is.
If he can take what’s in his mind and best communicate it to his players, there’s no telling what this team’s ceiling is moving forward.
