San Francisco 49ers

John Clayton of ESPN believes that Paton may not be as interested in taking the 49ers job as one would believe, however, especially with the Indianapolis Colts GM job now open. As transcribed by Chris Biderman of Niners Wire, Clayton told the Colts website on Wednesday that from what he knows about Paton, he is unlikely to take the job.

After being moved out of the 49ers front office earlier this month, former GM Trent Baalke is looking to move out of his multi-million dollar home.

We argued that the firing of Colts GM Ryan Grigson this weekend could throw a wrench in 49ers’ head coaching search. Interestingly, it looks like it may actually have an effect on who San Francisco hires as their next GM. According to multiple reports, Indianapolis has requested an interview with the 49ers’ current frontrunner for the job, Vikings assistant GM George Paton.

After two years away from the NFL, former 49ers head coach and longtime defensive line coach Jim Tomsula is officially back.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport joined Murph and Mac on Friday morning, and explained that while most of the candidates withdrawing actually makes sense, Gutekunst’s decision to drop out is a true head-scratcher.

Prospective candidates for the 49ers’ still vacant general manager position continue to drop like flies.

Despite being reported as one of the four finalists for the position, Green Bay Packers director of football operations Eliot Wolf has pulled out of consideration according to multiple reports.

San Francisco color analyst Tim Ryan joined Gary and Larry on Wednesday morning, and argued that the 49ers best option at QB next season would be to target Jimmy Garoppolo via trade.

Though the 49ers look well on their way to hiring a premier head coaching candidate in Kyle Shanahan, reports of missteps during the search by Jed York and Co continue to leak out on a daily basis.

Two reports Wednesday morning have indicated that those within the Falcons organization have accepted and are aware of the fact that Shanahan will indeed leave to take the head coaching position with the Niners once Atlanta’s season ends. The 49ers cannot officially offer Shanahan the job until that time.
