Report: 49ers down to Chip Kelly or Mike Shanahan

The 49ers are narrowing down their coaching search to a couple of former head coaches.

San Francisco will likely choose between Chip Kelly and Mike Shanahan, with a decision coming within the next 24 hours, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Both Kelly and Shanahan have had some success as head coaches, although both were fired from their most recent jobs, Kelly in Philadelphia and Shanahan in Washington. In San Francisco, big questions would include whether they can get along with owner Jed York and G.M. Trent Baalke (something Jim Harbaugh couldn’t do), and whether they believe they can get Colin Kaepernick back on track or whether they’re going to look for a new franchise quarterback.

The 49ers were reportedly interested in Hue Jackson, who was hired by the Browns yesterday. They may choose either Kelly or Shanahan by tomorrow.

I think kelly could be a decent coach, just made some interesting personnel decisions in philly that didn't pan out so well.

Can't stand an Oregon coach going to that hell hole but at least I don't buy that his system is a fit for the NFL.

Meh I don't think he will make the whiners any better. They are still aging and he isn't exactly a defensive wizard. I actually hope this means that they will keep k-prick so they don't draft a qb.

Best thing that could've happened to him.
Absolutely. Chip gets the read option threat he needs to make his O work and Kap gets a chance to play to his strengths.
Bad thing is he might have been the best option for the Rams if he was cut.
