49ers interview Minnesota's George Paton for GM opening

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- The San Francisco 49ers have interviewed Minnesota Vikings assistant general manager George Paton for the team's GM opening.

The interview on Friday came a day after CEO Jed York met with Green Bay director of football operations Eliot Wolf and Packers director of player personnel Brian Gutekunst about filling the void created when Trent Baalke was fired Sunday following a 2-14 season.

San Francisco is also conducting a coaching search at the same time and interviewed Buffalo Bills interim coach Anthony Lynn for that job on Wednesday.
