The San Francisco 49ers are adding another name to their list of general manager candidates. Matt Maiocco reported Tuesday evening that the 49ers will interview Arizona Cardinals VP of player personnel Terry McDonough on Friday. The 49ers have interviews also planned next Monday with Seattle Seahawks executives Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer.
This particular addition to the list raises some questions in my mind. It is possible the team has been planning this interview for a while, and it only now leaked out. However, a day ago, former 49ers head coach Mike Nolan declared Terry McDonough to be the best candidate for the job.
