The Falcons are only one more game from kicking off a more expansive set of interviews for their open head coach and general manager position. Since we have known the Falcons would be hiring replacements for months, we have seen plenty of rumors you can see in the search tracker.
There have been a few repeat names, like Atlanta’s interest in Rick Smith, Terry Fontenot, and Arthur Smith. More surprising is the team’s interest in a vast array of defensive coaches. Under team owner Arthur Blank, the Falcons have only hired one offensive head coach. In that circumstance, things went wrong very quickly like a motorcycle crash.
