@RapSheet: The #Falcons plan on bringing in finalists for another round of interviews, and my understanding is Rex Ryan will be among them.

Aaron Freeman @falcfans
IIRC, Petrino was only coach Blank has hired that wasn’t interviewed 2x. So should surprise no one #Falcons are setting up 2nd interviews

Yeah I kinda Lol'd when I saw his tweet actually posted on r/falcons. Isn't he the one that always tweets to the recruits?

And Bowles hasn't even interviewed once. Looks like next week at best.

The Falcons have announced a restructuring of the player personnel department today.

Jay Adams @FalconsJAdams
Assistant General Manager Scott Pioli will take on pro and college scouting and NFL Draft responsibilities, reporting to Dimitroff.

Dimitroff will also retain management responsibility for salary cap, player affairs, equipment, sports medicine and performance, and video.

so Blank's man crush on Dimitroff wouldn't allow him to fire the guy, but it wasn't strong enough to strip him of responsibilities. Interesting. I'm not as down on Dimitroff's draft history as some, but free agent signings have been meh.

They should hire Ditka; he could trade the entire draft to get a runningback. After that he can smoke cigars, play golf, and ride his motorcycle.

Apparently Arthur Blank's mother passed away tonight...may affect the timeframe of the hire I'd imagine

Yeah, interviews have been postponed. Best case mid-late next week we'll have our guy?

Condolences for blank but Rex isn't going to wait around if the 49ers call. If we want him we need to be quick

Hearing Todd Bowles making very strong impression in head coaching interviews. I expect him to be a factor in this game of musical chairs

Atlanta should hire Rex Ryan immediately.

His defensive coaching with the talent on the offensive side would be a long run for Atlanta to potentially win SBs.

Well Rexy to the Bills

Makes it very obvious that we didn't offer if he's taking the Buffalo job

Todd Bowles it is?

Falcons blew it on Rex. I stand by that. They had the chance to make the biggest hire this season in the NFL. Instead, they still have Dimitroff, while in a diminished role, and I a bunch of candidates that inspire little hope. Outside of them hiring Quinn I would be disappointed in their efforts. If they get McDaniels I'll laugh my happy arse off.
