This is my Saturday column.
In ascending order, these are the top five people the 49ers should interview before hiring a new head coach this offseason.
DISCLAIMER: These are not necessarily the best head-coaching candidates out there. These are the guys the Niners can get, guys who are relatively inexperienced and won’t demand much money or power. Guys NOT named David Shaw, Sean Payton or Chip Kelly. Get real.
These are up-and-comers who can develop a young quarterback, or work around a few bad ones.
UP-AND-COMER No. 5: Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrel Bevell.
