Kyle Shanahan set for 2nd interview with San Francisco 49ers

Fresh off another dominant performance by the Atlanta Falcons, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will reportedly meet again with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday about their head coaching vacancy.

Shanahan is in his second season as offensive coordinator with the Falcons, who averaged an NFL-best 33.8 points per contest and are headed to the Super Bowl after dismantling the Green Bay Packers 44-21 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. He also served as offensive coordinator with the Washington Redskins (2010-13) and Cleveland Browns (2014).

The 37-year-old Shanahan initially met with the 49ers earlier this month and is considered the clear front-runner for the job.

Shanahan is the son of longtime NFL coach Mike Shanahan, who would not take a formal role with the 49ers, the NFL Network reported.

San Francisco is looking for a new head coach for the third time in as many seasons, with Chip Kelly being fired after the team's dismal 2-14 campaign.

Shanahan, who cannot be hired as 49ers head coach until after the Super Bowl, could also be in a position to get some control over personnel. San Francisco is expected to meet with Minnesota assistant general manager George Paton a second time about its general manager vacancy on Friday as well.
