The 47-year-old played 10 seasons in the NFL with the 49ers from 2000-09 after being selected in the third round by San Francisco.
His first game as head coach will come in a prime-time “Monday Night Football” showdown against the Bills at MetLife Stadium with first place in the AFC East up for grabs.
