As the Atlanta Falcons continue their search for the next head coach and general manager, two names have emerged as the favorites. Johnathan Jones of CBS Sports reported that Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Saints vice president/assistant general manager Terry Fontenot are being considered for the openings in Atlanta.
Said this on @CBSSportsNet yesterday: sources have told me a Terry Fontenot/Joe Brady union in Atlanta is very possible. Of course the Falcons are still conducting their robust search for a GM and HC.

Team reporter William McFadden also reported on the rumored pairing, which was then retweeted by the Falcons’ Twitter account. Despite the buzz around this pair, it’s important to note that nothing has been made official.
On Monday, Atlanta completed virtual interviews with two more candidates — Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith — for the team’s opening at head coach.
Stay tuned for more interview updates as they unfold throughout the week.
