Report: Ex-49ers head coach Chip Kelly among Jacksonville Jaguars Offensive Coordinator candidates

When the Jaguars visit the 49ers at some point in 2017, the Bay Area could be seeing a familiar face across the sideline.

The 49ers have yet to formally finish their process to fill their head coaching vacancy, as Patriots offensive coordinator officially removed himself from consideration Monday morning, but their ex-coach, Chip Kelly, could potentially become a future opponent.

Kelly, having been fired at season's end in his lone season with the 49ers, "quietly" interviewed for the Jaguars' head coaching position before Doug Marrone was officially instated, according to ESPN. Hays Carlyon of 1010XL radio reports Kelly is at EverBank Field on Monday to presumably talk about the Jaguars' offensive coordinator opening.
