Some odds and ends from my weekend interview with former Eagles defensive coordinator Billy Davis that were left on the cutting room floor:
- Davis said Chip Kelly told him he wanted to bring him to San Francisco with him after he was hired as the 49ers’ head coach, but general manager Trent Baalke and owner Jed York nixed the idea. He said his previous stint as the Niners’ defensive coordinator in 2005 and 2006 worked against him, even though he said head coach Mike Nolan was the de facto coordinator those two years. “I think they wanted Chip to bring someone in [as defensive coordinator] who hadn’t been there before,’’ Davis said.
