ASHBURN — Kyle Shanahan had some advice. Asked what he would tell perspective coaches interested in joining the Redskins, the 49ers coach and former Washington coordinator said they needed to “just look into it.”
“See what the situation is and who you want to work for,” Shanahan said.
The 39-year-old didn’t exactly give a ringing endorsement of the Redskins’ front office, who will look to hire a new head coach following the season after the team fired Jay Gruden last week.
Though it’s too early to list possible front-runners, the Redskins have been linked to a number of rumored candidates — from the established (Mike Tomlin) to the unproven (Kevin O’Connell).
