Sabino's Foerster, ex-UA assistant Wolford headed to NFL

The new coaching staff of the San Francisco 49ers has a Tucson flavor. The club’s new offensive line coach is Sabino High School grad Chris Foerster, who is now in his second stint with the 49ers after playing at Colorado State. Foerster hired as his line assistant Eric Wolford, a one-time Mike Stoops assistant at Arizona who was recently fired as head coach at Youngstown State. The 49ers last week also hired Clancy Pendergast, a UA grad and one-time Amphi JV assistant, to coach the linebackers.
