Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is ready to become a head coach, but he won't let those aspirations deter his goal of reaching this year's Super Bowl.
A source confirmed to ESPN that Shanahan will interview for heading coach vacancies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Jacksonville and Denver over the next two days. Those interviews, to be conducted in Atlanta, were made possible after the No. 2 seed Falcons secured this week's first-round playoff bye.
"I think it would have been an impossible situation if we didn't win last week,'' Shanahan said Thursday.
