San Francisco 49ers

As he so often does, Jay Glazer dropped a bomb Monday afternoon, revealing on Fox Sports 1’s Speak for Yourself that Chip Kelly knew former general manager Trent Baalke had been trying to him fired for weeks.

A day after D-Day at Levi’s Stadium, 49ers owner Jed York took to the podium to address his firings of head coach Chip Kelly and General Manager Trent Baalke.

ESPN NFL insider Chris Mortensen said that for that reason, and the lack of talent on the San Francisco roster, the 49ers are on paper, the least attractive destination for a head coaching prospect. The only saving grace is the team’s illustrious history.

ESPN’s John Clayton joined The Audible on Monday morning.

His biggest faux pas may have occurred in the most recent draft, and likely could’ve saved both his and Chip Kelly’s jobs.

For the fourth time in two seasons, 49ers fans flew a banner over Levi’s Stadium before Sunday’s season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, amidst reports that CEO Jed York is soon to fire the team’s third head coach in three years.

Trent Baalke had apparently already been informed that his time with the 49ers was over on Friday, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports. 49ers ownership reportedly did not have the same conversation with Kelly, however, leading the San Francisco head coach to call owner Jed York last night to discuss the report according to Mike Silver of NFL.com

According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, Baalke was informed by 49ers brass on Friday that he’d be fired, while Kelly has yet to be informed of his axing.

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to fire both head coach Chip Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke as reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and Adam Schefter of ESPN.
