Brandon Staley, who was fired as head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers in December, may not be out of the NFL for long.
Some league sources believe that Staley will be hired as the next defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
There have not yet been any reports of San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan setting up an interview with Staley, Florio noted.
The 49ers are seeking a replacement for former defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, who was fired following the team's Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
