A spokesman for the San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday morning that the team is set to begin its second round of interviews for the open general manager position. There was no official list released as to which candidates made the cut, but the announcement did say that some candidates have been notified that they're no longer in the running.
The 49ers have interviewed nine candidates for GM thus far: Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst from the Green Bay Packers, George Paton of the Minnesota Vikings, Jimmy Raye III from the Indianapolis Colts, ESPN front office insider Louis Riddick, Terry McDonough of the Arizona Cardinals, Brandon Beane from the Carolina Panthers as well as Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer from the Seattle Seaahwks.
