The Atlanta Falcons have been working through their options for a new head coach and that due diligence now includes a pair of second interviews for two of the top names on the market.
Atlanta announced they completed their second interview with former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick on Friday, whom is perhaps the most noteworthy candidate attached to the job. Belichick had previously completed his first interview with the Falcons on Monday.
His former tight end Rob Gronkowski has surely been sipping all of the tea when it comes to the links between Belichick and the Falcons based off his recent comments.
Gronkowski previously reported that the Falcons were ‘coming in hot’ for Belichick and more recently referred to the 71-year-old as a ‘powerhouse’ and ‘still the great Bill Belichick.’
The Falcons also scheduled a second interview for Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh that will take place next week.
Harbaugh had completed his first interview with Atlanta on Tuesday, only one day after Belichick. The National Championship winning coach has also completed an interview with the Los Angeles Chargers.
Atlanta’s coaching search has also brought on news of other major interviews besides the two top names on this year’s coaching carousel.
Before conducting Belichick’s second interview in person the Falcons also conducted a virtual meeting with defensive Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
Glenn also completed a virtual interview with the Tennessee Titans on Friday.
Atlanta is also set to interview former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel in person next Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.
