Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator, and 49ers top coaching candidate, Kyle Shanahan was named as the NFL assistant coach of the year by the Professional Football Writers of America.

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.

With multiple reports surfacing yesterday that they have selected their next head coach, the 49ers narrowed down their list of GM candidates Wednesday morning, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The rumor mill continues to churn Monday morning regarding the 49ers search for a new head coach and general manager. A frontrunner has also emerged for the 49ers vacant GM position according to Albert Breer of MMQB.

49ers beat writer Matt Maiocco reported that Arizona Cardinals VP of player personnel Terry McDonough, who San Francisco recently interviewed for their also vacant GM position, also has Shanahan as his top target for head coach.

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels confirmed multiple reports Monday morning that he is electing to stay in New England next season, and has dropped out of consideration to be San Francisco’s next head coach.

After months of speculation, the Oakland Raiders are preparing to file relocation papers for their move to Las Vegas, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
