The Falcons completed a virtual interview Wednesday with Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady for their head coach position.

The Falcons already have interviewed interim coach Raheem Morris, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh for the opening created when the team dismissed Dan Quinn on Oct. 11.

Brady, 31, has only one season as an NFL coordinator. The Panthers finished 21st in the league in offense and 24th in scoring.

Brady, who got on the NFL’s radar after a spectacular 2019 season at LSU in which he worked with quarterback Joe Burrow, also is reported to be a candidate for the Chargers and Texans coaching jobs.
