San Francisco’s “Coach Search 2016” continues to be a hot topic within the 49ers camp following a 5-11 season and the dismissal of former head coach Jim Tomsula after just one year at the helm of the Niners.
Initial reports from around the league pointed at an interest from the 49ers in New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, who is still under contract with his current employer. But Payton put to rest any notion he’d be available on Wednesday when he announced he wouldn’t be leaving New Orleans any time soon.
So the search continues.
The 49ers have already been on the lookout for their next head coach and have lined up a number of possibilities.
