"Atlanta is in the process of a notable restructuring. That will include a new head coach and general manager after last night's firing of Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. Other moves have been made as well, though. Longtime CEO Rich McKay has continued expanding his role into other areas of the Arthur M. Blank Sports and Entertainment organization, and today marks a key point in a five-year succession plan for his replacement."
"The Falcons will soon begin the interview process on that front. Before it begins, though, it is widely expected Ryan will be hired. As Tom Pelissero of NFL Network notes, the former MVP quarterback has already done "homework" on a number of head coach and general manager candidates. The process of finding replacements for Morris and Fontenot, to no surprise, will not begin until the president of football ops is officially in place."
The Falcons are undertaking a major organizational restructuring that includes hiring a new head coach and general manager after firing Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot. Longtime CEO Rich McKay has expanded his role as part of a five-year succession plan, and Greg Beadles has been promoted from president to president and CEO of the Falcons. Beadles will manage business operations and assist with implementing the wider restructure, including the pending hire of a president of football operations. Matt Ryan is widely expected to take a prominent front-office role and has researched potential coach and GM candidates. The team must comply with the Rooney Rule before finalizing the football-operations hire.
