The Atlanta Falcons are on a (potentially) lengthy search for a future general manager and head coach. Arthur Blank and Rich McKay spoke to the media, in place of Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff, for a different type of post-season press conference. Their focus appears to be a deliberate and expansive search.
While deliberate and expansive, a few names have continually popped up in nearly ever rumor about the new Falcons brain trust. Among the general managers, Terry Fontenot and Rick Smith are mentioned in nearly every rumor. Among the head coaches, it is Arthur Smith.
