We are in a cycle in which teams request coaching and general manager interviews. For years, the San Francisco 49ers were consistently losing key personnel from their front office and coaching staff. That slowed down last season after a 6-win stint, but it should pick up this offseason.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, NFL Network\u2019s Tom Pelissero reported the Miami Dolphins requested interviews with 49ers Vice President of Player Personnel Tariq Ahmad, Director of Scouting and Football Operations, Josh Williams, and assistant general manager RJ Gillen for their vacant general manager position.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s an easy connection between the Dolphins and Niners, with Mike McDaniel still Miami\u2019s head coach. Someone familiar with McDaniel, such as Ahmad or Williams, could advocate for him to keep his job.<\/p>\n
Williams has been with the 49ers for 14 seasons. He\u2019s served as a national and area scout, and his current job title requires him to support player development and assist with contract negotiations, in addition to his scouting duties.<\/p>\n
Ahmad is in his first season as VP of Player Personnel. He served as Director of Player Personnel for two seasons before three seasons as Director of College Scouting. Ahmad has also served as the team\u2019s assistant director of scouting and as an area scout. He\u2019s been with the 49ers since 2014.<\/p>\n
Gillen is in his 11th season with the 49ers, and it is his first as assistant general manager. Gillen was previously the Director of Player Personnel and held the title of Director of Pro Personnel before that. He\u2019s been with the Niners since 2015.<\/p>\n
If hired as a general manager, the 49ers would receive a third-round compensatory pick if they lost Williams or Ahmad this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are in a cycle in which teams request coaching and general manager interviews.
