The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
San Francisco appears to be putting the cart before the horse, interviewing head-coaching candidates before hiring a GM. The possible reason? The Rooney Rule. Interviewing Jackson would comply with the mandate that at least one minority candidate be interviewed for every coaching vacancy. But as PFT suggests, this isn’t a ploy; Jackson is regarded as a legitimate head-coaching candidate, and his presence on the Oakland coaching staff has fueled reports that HC Tom Cable will be fired and Jackson elevated into the job.
