The Atlanta Falcons ended the season Sunday with 4-12 record. Now, the search is on for their next head coach and general manager.
The team fired head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff in October. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris took over the head coaching duties.
Interviews have begun for the next head coach as owner Arthur Blank and president and CEO Rich McKay search for the best fit. Here are the coaches the team have looked at so far.
RAHEEM MORRIS
Morris has been with the Falcons organization since 2015, serving in several roles as assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and coaching defensive backs, wide receivers and the secondary.
The Falcons finished with a 4-7 record under Morris when he took over in October.
Morris told Channel 2 sports anchor Alison Mastrangelo that his interview with Arthur Blank went well.
Raheem Morris says he had a great interview with Arthur Blank and the Falcons on Friday. He said it went well, it was long, and it was fair. #RiseUpATL
