49ERS LOOK TO THE PAST IN OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR SEARCH

A surprising name has surfaced in the 49ers’ search for a new offensive coordinator. Former Broncos, Giants and Falcons head coach Dan Reeves will interview for the job, according to both Adam Schefter and FOX’s Jay Glazer. Schefter says the interview will take place on Friday afternoon while Glazer places it sometime in the next 24 hours. Schefter says that Mike Singletary has had a hard time finding someone he trusts to call plays for the 49ers, and Reeves’ experience would seem to be enough to clear that stumbling block. Reeves has been out of coaching since 2003 when the Falcons fired him. He currently works as a color commentator for Westwood One’s national radio broadcasts on Sunday afternoons. Reeves coached the Broncos to three Super Bowls in the 80’s and took the Falcons to their only Super Bowl in 1998. According to Schefter, if all goes well in the interview Reeves could be hired at some point this weekend.
