Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly
emailed surveys.
The Falcons find themselves in a fascinating position as a team seeking a new coach. They don’t have a general manager. They are looking to bring a franchise legend into their operations. The roster clearly possesses talent on both sides of the ball. No team definitively beats the Bills and Rams without having a level of star power. That creates plenty of intrigue for candidates who want to be in a position to win immediately. The opportunity is to make your mark as the person to revive a franchise in dire need of playing meaningful January football.
Interviews are starting to be scheduled. Some will have to wait until the coach’s current team is eliminated from the playoffs or makes it to the Super Bowl. There’s no strong offensive or defensive preference for the next hire, given the lack of highly-regarded offensive coaches on the market. Finding the coach who will implement a cohesive system, solidified structure, and unified culture will be imperative for the Falcons to get this next hire right.
Who would you like to see the Falcons hire to be the next head coach? Are you confident where the team is headed? Let us know below.
Editor’s Note: This poll was created before the Ravens fired John Harbaugh.
