Kyle Shanahan is expected to become the next San Francisco 49ers head coach. Michael Silver broke the news that Atlanta Falcons fans didn’t want to hear on NFL.com. According to Silver’s sources, Shanahan will sign a multi-year deal upon the end of the currently Falcons’ season. Hopefully that isn’t until February 6, 2017.
Josh McDaniels was thought to be the leading candidate as next 49ers head coach before withdrawing his name on Monday. Tom Cable also interviewed with Jed and Denise York, but backed out upon the realization he was the contingency plan. After McDaniels decided to remain with New England, the job became Kyle Shanahan’s for the taking.
