The 49ers won 54 games in that span and both quarterbacks set career records for passer rating in 2012 when Kaepernick took over for Smith Week 11 in a MNF win over the Bears.
Chryst worked as San Francisco's offensive coordinator in 2015 when Blaine Gabbert replaced Kaepernick Week 9.
Kaepernick had played well in games early but struggled in losses to division foes Arizona, Seattle and St. Louis.
In that UCLA game Cal quarterback Jack Plummer threw for four TD passes and completed 14 consecutive throws.
Chryst began his NFL coaching career with the Chicago Bears in 1991, working for five seasons as the team's director of research/quality control.
During Chryst's five seasons in San Francisco, the 49ers advanced to three consecutive NFC Championship Games (2011–13) in addition to competing in Super Bowl XLVII.
Chryst helped San Francisco's passing offense rank among the most efficient units in the NFL from 2011-14 while working with QBs Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick.
These camps put the players through a series of safe drills where scouts can evaluate the skills and conditioning of the prospects.

Jackson attended Oregon State where he was on the Beavers 2019-2020 teams, before transferring in 2021 to play quarterback at the University of Wisconsin--Whitewater.
