Baalke himself is tied to Parcell's tree. He broke into the NFL with the Jets iirc, when Parcells was coach. A bunch of guys of well known coaches today where on that staff, including Todd Bowles.
That's why I'm not surprised at all to hear Bowles might get a 2nd interview. Belichek was on that staff too, which might explain why McDaniels is on our radar. Everybody prefers hiring people they're somehow connected with.
Not saying that. They've produced some great results as coordinators, and that's ultimately the reason why both are on HC radars. I'm just saying the Parcells connection is something that Baalke could specifically look for. That might help Bowles or McDaniels get the 49ers job.
