Schefter: Kyle Shanahan considered remaining with Falcons in 2017
The Josh McDaniels drama has brought stories out of the woodwork about assistant coaches changing their minds after getting a particular job offer. Bill Belichick resigning on his first day as head coach of the New York Jets is the best example, but Dave McGinnis deciding not to join the Chicago Bears in 1999 after the team announced it is another example.
On Thursday, Adam Schefter reported that Kyle Shanahan briefly had second thoughts about taking the San Francisco 49ers head coaching job. Schefter made his regular Thursday appearance on KNBR (audio), and he talked about the Atlanta Falcons making a last minute push to retain their offensive coordinator.
