Atlanta Falcons: Top 3 most likely coaching hires as search winds down
1. Joe Brady
Do you want to know who seems to be the most likely candidate at this point? It’s Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
Brady has interviewed for nearly every head coach opening, as well, but there just seems to be something that ‘sticks’ about him and the Falcons.
The Falcons were among the first to reach out to Brady and he’s been around Atlanta for quite some time now. Brady worked under Sean Payton and then he stayed in the same region when he went to coach at LSU as an assistant for a year. Last season, he helped improve the Panthers’ offense and has been regarded as one of the better play-callers in the game.
The more we learn about Brady, the more it seems like he wants to stay in this region.
Next. Matt Ryan isn't leaving Atlanta anytime soon. dark
If he does- and with the Jaguars filling their opening- it would seem like the Atlanta Falcons would be the perfect fit and the potential pairing of Brady and Fontenot should absolutely create some excitement surrounding this franchise moving forward.
