We all know the names being mentioned as potential candidates as the next Atlanta Falcons head coach, but there will be quite a few open jobs. So the question we answer here is, what should intrigue these potential candidates about coming to Atlanta? What could set us apart?
Atlanta quite frankly has to get this hire right – if they choose to move on from Dan Quinn.
Every offseason we see multiple teams looking for a new head coach and some hires suffer early on due to some of the things that the Atlanta Falcons actually have going for them, so let’s take a look shall we:
Players under contract long term:
One thing I’ll give Thomas Dimitroff is that he has done an excellent job at keeping the “GOOD” players in Atlanta, and because of that, whatever new guy that is brought in to be the coach, with possibly a new general manager, there WILL be some players that are under contract that these head coaching candidates will see as a huge plus; for example:
Jake Matthews, Julio Jones, Deion Jones, Kaleb McGary, Chris Lindstrom, and Matt Ryan are all under contract until 2024.
