"The Rooney Rule requires NFL teams interviewing new head coaches or general managers to interview at least two minority candidates. The interviews must be in-person to satisfy the Rooney Rule, but Atlanta has publicly disclosed which of its interviews were virtual or in-person. Based on Jones' report, at least two of their minority candidates must have conducted their first interview in person."
"Aside from the second interview that John Harbaugh cancelled in favor of accepting the Giants' head coaching position, no other candidate has been scheduled for a second interview in Atlanta. Stefanski, though, still has plenty of interest from other teams hoping he stays available after today's meeting. Per Dianna Russini of The Athletic, he's scheduled to head to Tennessee tomorrow following today's interview, and the Dolphins and Ravens are both working to bring him in for second, in-person interviews on Wednesday,"
Kevin Stefanski is considered the top candidate for the Falcons and is scheduled for a second interview with Atlanta. The Falcons meet Rooney Rule requirements, and at least two minority candidates reportedly had in-person first interviews, allowing Atlanta to hire after a compliant second interview. No other candidate in Atlanta has been set for a second interview since John Harbaugh withdrew to accept the Giants' job. Stefanski will visit Tennessee after the Atlanta interview, and the Dolphins and Ravens are pursuing second, in-person interviews. Stefanski researched working with Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, whom the owner wants to retain.
