We’ve all spent months trying to figure out who the Atlanta Falcons might hire to fill both their general manager and head coaching vacancies. The team has built a list of about a half-dozen candidates for each role that they’ve interviewed or will be interviewing, but there’s a sense that they’re winnowing down those lists, with a report this weekend indicating they were down to 2-3 finalists for the general manager role.
As we get closer, there seems to be a growing sense that Terry Fontenot from the Saints will be that general manager hire, and that he’ll bring young Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady to Atlanta with him as the new head coach.
