FOOCH'S NOTE: Thanks to abasketballfan and also maveric_87 for getting up FanPosts about this. Maiocco confirmed with Rathman that he's been offered the RB coach job. Nice to get our ducks in a row and slowly get the coaching staff assembled.

Think it is a good move for the Niners. Rathman is a proven running back coach and it's nice to have a link to the glory years back on the staff. The teams he's coached have had good running games... not sure about the Lions but that's the Lions, I can give him a break.
Wonder if the mustache game was to recruit him over and ease any ill will from the Mooch firing.
