The 49ers and Los Angeles Chargers are the only NFL teams without a head coach.
Sean McVay, grandson of former 49ers exec John McVay, was named head coach of the Los Angeles Rams Thursday. McVay, the 30-year-old offensive coordinator for Washington, interviewed with the 49ers Monday.
The story was first reported on NFL media and then confirmed by the Rams.
Three candidates interviewed by the 49ers who are still available are New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Atlanta offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Buffalo offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn.
McDaniels and Shanahan’s teams are both No.
