Dan Reeves On Friday Dan Reeves and his 23 years of NFL head coaching experience interviewed for the San Francisco 49ers open offensive coordinator position.
Reeves met with 49ers coach Mike Singletary and general manager Scot McCloughan at the team's facility as the team seeks to fill the gap created in their coaching staff by Mike Martz's firing in December.
Reeves was a longtime head coach with the Denver Broncos and later coach in New York and Atlanta with the Giants and Falcons. But he has been out of coaching since being replaced by Wade Phillips with three games left in the 2003 season with the Falcons.
He was hired by the Houston Texans as a consultant late in the 2005 season and originally was believed he would be the Texans next coach after the firing of Con
At age 65, Reeves has a 190-165-2 record as a head coach. He mad the post-season nine times but lost all four trips to the Super Bowl.
Reeves has yet to make an comment about the interview.
San Francisco's next offensive coordinator will be the team's seventh in seven seasons. The Niners offered the job to Scott Linehan earlier this month, but the former St. Louis Rams coach turned it down and took the same position with the Detroit Lions on Friday.
The 49ers have interviewed former Boston College coach Jeff Jagodzinski, Cleveland offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and Indianapolis receivers coach Clyde Christensen for the job. Denver assistant Rick Dennison also interviewed, but stayed on the Broncos' new coaching staff.
