Special teams coach Brad Seely spent four years on Jim Harbaugh’s staff with the 49ers, leaving him without a job when things blew up after the season and Harbaugh left for the University of Michigan.
Seely didn’t have to look far for his next landing spot. The Raiders announced Tuesday night that Seely will be their special teams coach for the 2015 season. He joins offensive coordinator Brad Musgrave as key members of Jack Del Rio’s staff in Oakland.
It’s the seventh NFL stop for Seely, who has been bouncing from team to team since 1989. He’s had stops with the Colts, Jets, Panthers, Patriots and Browns in addition to his run with the 49ers.
Alex Marvez of FOX Sports reports that the 49ers will hire Thomas McGaughey to take over Seely’s role on the staff. McGaughey spent 2014 as the special teams coach for the Jets and has also worked for LSU, the Giants and the Broncos during his coaching career.
