Over the weekend, CBS Sports reporter Jason La Canfora had an interesting, albeit worrying report about the San Francisco 49ers. La Canfora reported that it would be a surprise if Trent Baalke was retained after the season. He then said if the team went outside for a general manager, it would leave Chip Kelly’s own future up in the air.
Where it gets worrying was this paragraph:
Several NFL owners believe Jed York's parents, Denise and John York, will be taking a more hands-on approach with the team as they determine how to reposition the franchise, and Mike Shanahan, who has been under consideration for coaching openings there in the past, could join the 49ers in a coaching and/or executive capacity.
