Lane Kiffin and Chip Kelly on the same staff?

Apparently, the Alabama offensive coordinator was contacted about the San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator position, according to a source.

There aren’t any specifics at the time as to what happened when San Francisco contacted Kiffin.

Kelly was hired as the 49ers head coach last Thursday on a four-year deal. He was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after three seasons with the team.

Kelly posted back-to-back 10-6 seasons in Philadelphia before the team went a disappointing 7-9 this season.

As for Kiffin, the 49ers gauged his interest in the same position a year ago, but Kiffin decided to remain put in Tuscaloosa.
