What's the next step for the 49ers?
Ans: They will interview general manager candidate Terry McDonough of the Cardinals on Friday. Then on Sunday they head to Renton, Wa. to talk to Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable. On Monday they speak with Seattle personnel executives Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer, in that order.
Who could the 49ers hire -- right now -- at head coach?
Ans: Only one guy: Buffalo's Anthony Lynn. The rest of the candidates they've interviewed or wanted to interview (Vance Joseph, Sean McDermott, Sean McVay) either have been hired or are still in the playoffs (Josh McDaniels, Kyle Shanahan and Cable).
