Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan will meet with the San Francisco 49ers regarding their vacant head coaching job for a second time on Friday or Saturday, reports NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Shanahan is all but certain to earn the position, but will have to wait until after the Super Bowl to be officially hired.

The 37-year-old will be joined by the 49ers' top general manager candidates, added Rapoport.

San Francisco doesn't appear to have narrowed down its GM search as fast as expected, presumably as they hope to find a candidate who shows a strong connection with Shanahan.
