The Atlanta Falcons will be going into their 59th season under leadership of their 15th head coach in their history after their recent hire of Raheem Morris.
It has been a tough history of head coaches in the franchise's history with only four coaches who ended their career with a winning record. We have also yet to see a coach make it past his seventh season.
