Update: Chip Kelly has been hired by the 49ers

Chip Kelly to the San Francisco 49ers remains a possibility, according to a report.

However, ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter said he doesn't think Kelly will be hired for any head coach position during this offseason.

"He's interviewed there (San Francisco)...I don't believe Chip Kelly is going to wind up with a head coaching job in the NFL in this offseason period here," Schefter told Philadelphia radio station 97.5 The Fanatic. "I think San Francisco is going to go in a different direction. Where else has Chip interviewed? That's it, right? No, I don't think he's going to get that job. I don't think he's going to be the guy in Tennessee either."

Schefter's opinion runs counter to another report, saying Kelly to the 49ers is still on the table.

Heard from multiple people today Chip Kelly is still in the mix for the #49ers. It's not dead like I once thought — John Middlekauff (@JohnMiddlekauff) January 13, 2016

The 49ers were reportedly very interested in Hue Jackson, but the Cincinnati offensive coordinator is expected to become the head coach in Cleveland, according to multiple reports. The 49ers were also interested in New Orleans head coach Sean Payton is case he opted to leave the Saints, but Payton decided to stay in New Orleans. They have reportedly also interviewed Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, but Koetter is widely expected to replace Lovie Smith as coach of the Buccaneers.

The 49ers interviewed Kelly - his only reported interview - last week. What could be happening is the 49ers, perhaps looking to make a big-time hire, are rapidly running out of preferred options.

Former New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin reportedly interviewed with the 49ers Tuesday. The 69-year-old, two-time Super Bowl winning coach remains an intriguing possibility.

The Titans haven't given any indication they are interested in interviewing Kelly. Interim coach Mike Mularkey is reportedly the leading candidate, though a report emerged that many potential candidates for the Titans general manager position have said they wouldn't retain Mularkey.
