The San Francisco 49ers plan on offering their head coaching job to Kyle Shanahan as soon as they're allowed to do so with the Atlanta Falcons still in the playoffs.

Shanahan interviewed with the 49ers earlier this month in the window such interviews with coaches from playoff teams are allowed.

The 49ers are "willing to wait" for Shanahan.

Shanahan is in his second year as offensive coordinator with the Falcons. He previously held the same role in Washington, Houston and Cleveland.
