From Rotoworld...
Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reports Mike Shanahan was passed over for the 49ers' head-coaching job because he didn't want Colin Kaepernick.
49ers' Hall of Famers were calling the front office in support of Shanahan, and he appeared to be the favorite deep into the search. Things unraveled when Shanahan reportedly said he wanted the team to move on from Kaepernick and use its first-round pick on a new quarterback. GM Trent Baalke and the higher-ups in the organization believe Kap can be "salvaged," which led to Chip Kelly getting the job instead of Shanahan. Kap is the favorite to start Week 1.

Anybody with a functioning brain already assumed this was the case but it's big to see some level of confirmation of it. The 49ers may still draft a guy if they fall to 7 but I just can't see them giving up huge resources to move up when they have a shit roster and at least one of the top 3 QB's should still be there at 7.
As for another team moving up in front of us, I think the cost would be prohibitive for a team picking in the 11-15 range to move up that high. It'd likely cost at least damn near a whole draft plus a future 1st or so.
