The San Francisco 49ers have found the man to revamp their secondary.
Tim Lewis has been hired as the team's defensive backs coach, according to FOX Sports' Alex Marvez.
Lewis was the secondary coach for the Atlanta Falcons since 2010, and has coached the Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks' defensive backs in years' past.
Ed Donatell was the 49ers' defensive backs coach from 2011-14 but took the same role with the Chicago Bears in the offseason.
