The Falcons are competing with eight other NFL teams to find a new head coach, plus the team needs to hire a general manager after selecting Matt Ryan for the newly created position of president of football.

Since Falcons owner Arthur Blank announced Jan. 4 that the team fired coach Raheem Morris after two seasons, the team has been busy looking for a successor (and they need a new GM, too), and the AJC has been busy, too. Our staff of reporters are tracking the Falcons moves, and they will continue until the Falcons announce their decisions.
