SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brian Griese decided on a career change this offseason after a 13-year run in the broadcast booth that included the last two as the analyst on “Monday Night Football.” He traded in the work of a broadcaster to get back into the grind of the NFL as quarterbacks coach for the San Francisco 49ers. He is tasked with developing Trey Lance into a franchise quarterback. Griese brings his experience of 11 years playing quarterback in the NFL to his first foray into coaching.
