San Francisco is looking for their third head coach in three seasons after they fired Jim Tomsula after their season finale against the St. Louis Rams. The 49ers went just 5-11 this season.
Kelly coached nearly three seasons for the Eagles, posting a 26-21 record during his time with the team. However, the team was just 6-9 this season after Kelly made massive personnel changes in the offseason.
The 49ers are also expected to pursue Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase, Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
