The 2011 San Francisco 49ers coaching staff is slowly beginning to fill out as Jim Harbaugh adds more and more names to the team. Late last week word came out that Ed Donatell would be brought in as secondary coach (thanks to the FanShots and FanPost about it). We have not received official word at this point, although during his Raiders introductory press conference, Hue Jackson actually confirmed the Donatell hiring. in his press conference as the new 49ers head coach I'm guessing he wanted to interview Donatell for his own staff and Donatell informed him that wouldn't be possible.
The latest addition is in the passing game as Coach Harbaugh has apparently added USC wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator John Morton (thanks for the FanShot on this earlier). USC coach Lane Kiffin confirmed that move. Coach Harbaugh has indicated that he would do a lot of the play calling but he went with a running game coordinator and a passing game coordinator at Stanford. Greg Roman was recently hired as offensive coordinator, so one has to wonder whether Morton will handle some sort of passing game coordinator role.
After the jump I've posted a breakdown of their various career stops.
