Nick Sorensen won a Super Bowl with Seattle as an assistant coach.
The San Francisco 49ers are on their third defensive coordinator in as many seasons, and their latest hire is a former Seattle Seahawks assistant. Following the firing of Steve Wilks after their latest Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the 49ers are promoting Nick Sorensen from pass game coordinator to the big DC role.
After a decade in the NFL as a defensive back and special teams contributor, Sorensen began his coaching career with Pete Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks. He won a Super Bowl in 2013 as an assistant special teams coach to Brian Schneider, who’s the current 49ers ST coordinator. Sorensen switched to assistant defensive backs coach in 2016, then moved to coaching the secondary from 2017 until 2020.
