For the better part of a week, I ‘ve shared my expectation that Sherrone Moore will elevate tight ends coach Grant Newsome to offensive line coach on his new staff. It’s a move that Moore made himself three years ago, and one that several current and past staff members think Newsome would make just as seamlessly. That promotion could aid in fending off interest from Jim Harbaugh, who has made no secret of his belief that Newsome is a rising star. While there’s yet to be definitive word on his plans, that he’s on the road today is an encouraging sign.
