Kyle Shanahan reportedly next 49ers head coach

He ALMOST walked into the job as a Super Bowl winning offensive coordinator...

Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will become the next head coach of the San Francisco 49ers once a contract is placed in front of him, a source told ESPN.com following the Falcons' 34-28 loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Shanahan was not able to accept a contract offer from the 49ers until after the Falcons' postseason run concluded. He interviewed twice with the 49ers during the postseason and had a conversation with newly named 49ers general manager John Lynch, who called Shanahan and volunteered for the job without any previous front-office experience. Shanahan, 37, is expected to sign a six-year deal to run concurrent with Lynch's contract.

Schaub is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March. I'm guessing Colin Kaepernick has been told he can go pound sand, and as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing".
