It’s too early to determine a favorite to be the 49ers’ next head coach, but there’s no question about their most intriguing candidate.
He’s younger than five players on their current roster and has a close connection to the moribund franchise’s good-old days.
He’s Washington offensive coordinator Sean McVay, 30, the youngest coordinator in the NFL who is the grandson of former executive John McVay. He will interview with the 49ers on Monday in New York, exactly a week after CEO Jed York invoked his grandfather at a news conference that followed a 2-14 season.
