The Atlanta Falcons are making inquiries of the biggest names available this head-coaching cycle.

The Falcons announced Tuesday they had completed an interview with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, a day after sitting down with former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.

Harbaugh and Belichick are the most accomplished NFL coaches on the circuit -- and Harbaugh has won every where he has coached.

Harbaugh, 60, has been at Michigan since 2015, winning the national championship earlier this month and three straight Big Ten titles. He is 86-25 in games he's coached with the Wolverines -- he was suspended twice this season during Michigan's run to the national title -- and has won at least 12 games in each of the past three seasons.
