Former 49ers coach Steve Mariucci shares concerns about Brandon Aiyuk’s holdout but also insists the pass defense must be ready for the 2024 quarterback onslaught.
Steve Mariucci, the San Francisco 49ers’ coach from 1997-2002, speaks at his 26th annual charity bocce tournament at Campo di Bocce in Los Gatos, Calif., on Tuesday, June 4, 2024. LOS GATOS – Twenty minutes down the road from the 49ers’ minicamp, and a generation removed from his tenure as their coach, Steve Mariucci took a moment Tuesday to ponder his old team’s most pressing issue.
Mariucci’s role as an NFL Network analyst since 2006 keeps him in tune with all league matters, and while he still calls the South Bay foothills home, he’s not required to fret over a Brandon Aiyuk contract holdout or the 49ers’ business. However, Aiyuk’s absence from this offseason’s workouts – including Tuesday’s start of mandatory minicamp – concerns Mariucci, who coached Hall of Fame receivers Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens during his 1997-2002 tenure.
The 49ers spent their first-round draft pick this year on wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who’s establishing a quick rapport with Brock Purdy while taking key reps alongside Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, the latter of whom signed a two-year contact last week.
