49ers Interested in Condi Rice as Team President


The San Francisco 49ers have already made a coaching change this season. Now they apparently have their eyes on an even more high-profile front office move.

The 49ers have expressed interest in Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as a possible candidate for team president.
"If she's interested in talking to us, I'm interested in talking to her," one high-ranking 49ers official told NFL.com. Rice has expressed a desire to be an NFL team president as recently as last week, according to the report.
Ms. Rice has already indicated that she will return to Stanford University in January, a school where she served as provost from 1993-99, which would put her in the San Francisco Bay area. She has a long and documented interest in football, and has often been asked football questions during otherwise political interviews.
