Former Giants DC Perry Fewell to interview with 49ers
Former New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell will interview with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday to be their defensive backs coach, FOX Sports 1's Mike Garafolo reports.
Fewell, 52, was fired by the Giants earlier this month following five seasons as the team's defensive coordinator, including a victory in Super Bowl XLVI. The Giants finished No. 22 in scoring defense and No. 29 in yards allowed last season.
The 49ers parted ways with head coach Jim Harbaugh at the end of the season and promoted defensive line coach Jim Tomsula to head coach earlier this month.
