"Atlanta's already lined up two candidates they'd like to interview, with NFL insider Tom Pelissero reporting Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver earlier today and now Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Because the Dolphins are out of the playoffs and the Seahawks have a bye, the Falcons can interview both right now. The tricky bit, as Pelissero notes, is that Kubiak may have interest from multiple teams but only the limited scope of wild card week to schedule them;"
"Rick Smith, the former Texans general manager and current partner at Falcons consultant Sportology, worked with Kubiak's dad Gary in Houston. The Falcons also tried hard to pry Kubiak free from the Broncos to serve as their offensive coordinator, only for John Elway to block the request. He's become one of the hotter names in this coaching cycle by presiding over a surprisingly game Saints offense in 2024"
Atlanta is pursuing two head-coach candidates: Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver and Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. The Falcons can interview both immediately because the Dolphins missed the playoffs and the Seahawks have a bye. Kubiak may face competing interest and only the short window of wild-card week to schedule interviews. Kubiak has Atlanta ties through Rick Smith and past Falcons attempts to hire him. He led a productive Saints offense in 2024 and a strong Seahawks attack in 2025, excels at designing passing games, and has effectively managed dual running backs, though he has limited head-coaching experience.
