The situation in San Francisco took a bizarre turn on Sunday after the 49ers fired head coach Chip Kelly, less than one year from when they first hired him.<\/p>\n
That opens up yet another head coaching vacancy this offseason and after also firing GM Trent Baalke, the 49ers are in a major reset as they try and turn around what has arguably been one of the stranger situations in football. \u00a0They’ve been a mess since the debacle with Jim Harbaugh that lead to his departure\u00a0two seasons ago, with the two sides deciding to part ways despite two relatively\u00a0successful seasons for the club.<\/p>\n
Now it seems the 49ers would like to poach two pieces of New England’s puzzle to try and get back to being the same perennial winner that the Patriots were often compared to during their incredible run. \u00a0According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, San Francisco has requested interviews with both Josh McDaniels to be their potential head coach, as well as Patriots Director of Player Personnel, Nick Caserio, for their GM job.<\/p>\n
