Eric Bieniemy will not be the next coach of the Atlanta Falcons.

For almost a year and a half, Atlanta Falcons fans have wanted Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy to be the next head coach of the franchise and that clearly is not going to happen.

While he cannot officially be hired by a club until after the Chiefs playoff run is over, Atlanta sports media is reporting that Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is their first choice, and should he turn it down, they are going to hire Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
