Not only will President Bush be looking for work after January, but so will most of his cabinet.

Adam Schefter reported on NFL Network's NFL GameDay Morning that the San Francisco 49ers want to talk to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about a high-level position within the organization.

Per Schefter, the 49ers' ownership believes that Rice would make a great team president and that she would be likely to help them get financing for the new stadium they want. Rice was already planning to return to the Bay Area when her work in Washington is finished. She previously served as provost at Stanford.

Rice has also been mentioned as a potential candidate to become either the commissioner of the NFL or the head of the players' union.

    #8 You called it. That's just the way the York's think. the less they know about football the better ! How about a good old kick while your down ! I heard Peter Mcgowan ( spelling ? ) is looking for work too !
    I cannot abandon the 9er"s, But at this point Al Davis is starting to look like a genius.

    This is hilarious. There's no way Condy will be part of the Front Office of the 49ers. The 49ers don't need any more chaos or distractions.
