As the rumors heat up around the Falcons general manager and head coach jobs, it’ll be hard to keep track of all the candidates. To combat that, we’re setting up this tracker, which will keep all the confirmed interviews and rumored interest in one place as a one-stop shop for the ever-growing list of guys the Falcons are interested in.
Below, you’ll find links to our coverage of interviewed and rumored candidates for both the general manager and head coach vacancies for the Falcons, as well as relevant experience and some very useful in-depth looks at each candidate from AtlantaFalcons.com. We’ll update this as often as we’re able.
