The Atlanta Falcons have reportedly made requests to speak with Jesse Minter and Antonio Pierce, a pair of defensive-minded coaching candidates.

An NFL analyst believes the Atlanta Falcons will hire a two-time Coach of the Year winner now that John Harbaugh is no longer available after reportedly agreeing on a contract with the New York Giants.

Ryan has already spoken with six head coaching candidates, including John Harbaugh, Kevin Stefanski and Mike McDaniel.

Now that John Harbaugh is officially off the market, Klint Kubiak is the best option available for the Atlanta Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons have now interviewed eight candidates for their head coaching vacancy, completing two more interviews on Thursday. The team interviewed Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley this morning and met with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter in the afternoon.

In the wake of his firing, the Falcons hired former ATL quarterback Matt Ryan as the president of football. Ryan — who earned MVP and Pro Bowl honors during his 14-year tenure as the Falcons' quarterback — will now guide the franchise's search for its next head coach.

As the franchise overhaul continues in Atlanta, we reflect on past player performances and ponder future decisions.

The big bash was held at The Breakers in Palm Beach for roughly 300 A-listers that included a performance by rock star Jon Bon Jovi. The event, two weeks after Woods turned 50 on Dec. 30, was billed at “Red: Celebrating Legacy” and guests were urged to wear something red in honor of Woods’ iconic Sunday look.
