Chris Forester's Bio on SF 49ers website...
Chris Foerster enters his second season with the 49ers after being hired on February 15, 2008 as the co-offensive line coach. He assumed the title of offensive line coach in week 8 of the 2008 season.

Foerster’s 2008 line helped pave the way for RB Frank Gore’s third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season, while also blocking for an offensive unit that ranked fifth in the NFL in plays of 20-or-more yards (64). In the final eight games of the season, the offensive line limited opponents to two sacks per game after allowing four sacks per contest during the first half of the year.

During his 16-year NFL coaching career, Foerster’s teams have combined for a 139 wins, which includes nine playoff appearances and two championship games. During that time, he has coached at least one Pro Bowl player in 11 of those seasons.

Prior to joining the 49ers, Foerster spent three years (2005-07) as the offensive line coach and assistant head coach for the Baltimore Ravens. Prior to joining the Ravens, Foerster served as the offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins (2004), tight ends coach for the Indianapolis Colts (2002-03), offensive line coach for the Tampa Buccaneers (1996-2001) and assistant offensive line/tight ends coach for the Minnesota Vikings (1993-95).

With a total of 26 years coaching experience, Foerster also made an impact in the collegiate ranks, serving as the offensive line coach for the University of Minnesota (1992), assistant offensive line/special teams coach for Stanford (1988-91) and offensive line coach for Colorado State (1983-87). He began his coaching career in 1982 as a graduate assistant at Colorado State after a successful career with the Rams as a center from 1979-82. Foerster originally joined the Rams football team as a walk-on before earning a scholarship as a sophomore.

I got it, it's Chris Foerster. I had seen it spelled a couple different ways, looked him up and hopefully got it right.

With the exception of Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur, this coaching staff is long on experience.

The worst O-Line in the league last year was ironically the Green Bay Packers (51 sacks) followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers (50 sacks). San Fran was 11th worst (40 sacks). Either way main thing that makes me happy is the fact that Tom Cable is no longer a candidate to coach the Redskins. Oh yeah, we were 5th worst with 46 sacks.

53Fan · 01-21-2010, 12:15 PM

I had never heard of him before, not that I hear alot about o-line coaches, but he has an impressive resume'.

redsk1 · 01-21-2010, 12:22 PM

It's really nice to have our head coach actually hire their coaches. Excited about what Kyle S and LeFleur can bring. Young guys who are experienced and who've had success before.

Mike S and these guys know what a good QB looks like and doesn't look like. I'm trusting them to figure it out. I see us drafting a QB one way or another in the first 3 rounds.

God, this is a dull time for Skins fans huh? Watching other teams play, not too much going on in the last week or so. The draft is months away. I pumped about this new team, now I've just got to wait for 4 months + for some new action.

Senior Bowl, East/West Shrine Game, Combine, Free Agency, plenty of time to research for the Warpath Mock Draft (???)

MTK · 01-21-2010, 12:24 PM

Well, there's free agency and the combine between now and the draft

BigHairedAristocrat · 01-21-2010, 12:28 PM

when does free agency start this year? i'm assuming sometime near the beginning of march.
