The San Francisco 49ers interviewed Brandon Staley for their vacant defensive coordinator job, head coach Kyle Shanahan told Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports.
The franchise also spoke with their defensive passing game specialist, Nick Sorensen, for the role, while 49ers defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks is expected to interview for the position this week, Shanahan added.
The Los Angeles Chargers fired Staley following a 63-21 loss in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The 41-year-old finished his tenure with the Chargers losing five of his last six contests. He compiled a 24-24 regular-season record and an 0-1 record in the postseason.
