Matt Ryan poured gasoline on Falcons' coaching controversy with just one interview

The pieces are in place for the Atlanta Falcons to really shake up the head coaching carousel this offseason. Now that Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot are out and Matt Ryan is the one calling the shots, it's on him to spearhead the franchise's search for a new head coach and general manager.

As a former MVP, Ryan is well aware of the effect this coaching search will have on the development of Michael Penix Jr., but he's not letting that restrict the Falcons' search. While addressing the media during his introductory press conference, he revealed they aren't insistent upon hiring an offensive-minded head coach.
