The San Francisco 49ers may have their next defensive coordinator already lined up. After the Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Raheem Morris, Kyle Shanahan would certainly love to reunite with a guy he has spoken highly of in the past.
Morris was fired after an 8-9 season with the Falcons. It was Atlanta's second straight 8-9 season, and it was a bit surprising that the Falcons let him go considering they finished the season very strong even after they were eliminated from the playoffs with over a month to go in the season.
One would have thought that him still getting the most out of the roster despite not having a ton to play for would have reflected well on him, but apparently Atlanta wanted a fresh start.
