At the start of the process, San Francisco 49ers president Jed York said the club would give the hiring of a new coach to the new general manager, whoever he turns out to be.So it's not exactly clear what it means now that it's come out that the still-GM-less 49ers are talking to at least three potential coaching prospects.
Maybe it means that six-year San Francisco front office veteran Trent Baalke is going to be the GM and the club just hasn't gotten around to making the announcement.
Or maybe it means that the 49ers aren't sure they have time to wait on a coach. They have reached out to Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, whose team crushed Virginia Tech 40-12 in the Orange Bowl Tuesday to finish at 12-1.
And San Francisco reportedly has asked for permission to interview a pair of NFL assistant coaches, Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and New York Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell.
