The news was released today that the San Francisco 49ers will promote their defensive line coach  Jim Tomsula to the vacant head coach position. The 49ers were looking for a new head coach after they parted ways with Jim Harbaugh who had coached the team for the last four seasons. The team will make a formal announcement of the hiring tomorrow at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The 46-year-old Jim Tomsula will become the 19th head coach in San Francisco 49ers history after spending the last 8 seasons as the Defensive Line coach. Previous to his 2007 hire by the 49ers Tomsula served as the  head coach for Rhein Fire of the  NFL Europa league.
