Considering Kyle Shanahan is the last San Francisco 49ers head-coaching candidate who hasn’t dropped out of the running, it’s probably safe to assume he’ll be San Francisco’s next head coach.
Doug Hendrickson, the agent for Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable, said his client has withdrawn his name from consideration for the 49ers job. New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels also withdrew his name from consideration. That leaves Shanahan, the Atlanta Falcons’ offensive coordinator who can’t officially be hired until the Falcons are eliminated from the playoffs.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter said the 49ers, who are the last NFL team with a vacancy at head coach, are going to offer Shanahan the job and are willing to wait for him.
