The San Francisco 49ers won’t be interviewing New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio for their general manager opening.

On NBC pre-game show, Mike Florio of @ProFootballTalk said he was told that Nick Caserio has declined opportunity to be interviewed by SF. — Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) January 8, 2017

Caserio removed his name from the pool of candidates to replace Trent Baalke because of advice he received regarding San Francisco’s opening, according to a report from Yahoo Sports.

The 49ers haven’t been a model of stability as they look for their fourth coach in four seasons under CEO Jed York.

York’s been the target of criticism since the team parted with Jim Harbaugh after an 8-8 season that followed three straight conference title games and an appearance in the Super Bowl for the 2012 season. Then York had consecutive one-and-done coaches in Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly.

The 49ers announced it interviewed New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for the coaching vacancy.

York indicated in his press conference Monday that he was looking for a new GM and coach combination that could work well together. Caserio’s name surfaced in multiple reports as a possibility to replace Baalke, possibly to work with McDaniels given their familiarity with the Patriots.

Both Caserio and McDaniels started with New England in 2001. McDaniels left to become the Broncos coach in 2009 and returned to the Patriots in 2012.

According to reports, McDaniels’s preferred option is San Francisco. He’s been tied with GM candidate Louis Riddick, an ESPN analyst who previously had high-ranking personnel jobs with the Eagles and Washington.

San Francisco’s other known coaching candidates are Bills interim coach Anthony Lynn, Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, Washington offensive coordinator Sean McVay, Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable. The 49ers interviewed Lynn on Wednesday and Shanahan on Friday.

On Thursday, York and top lieutenant Paraag Marathe met with a pair of Packers executives — director of football operations Eliot Wolf and director of player personnel Brian Gutekunst — to discuss the GM vacancy. Minnesota assistant GM George Paton interviewed Friday.

The 49ers’ other known general manager candidates are Colts vice president of football operations Jimmy Raye III, Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane and Seahawks co-directors of player personnel Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer.
