Falcons fire DQ and Dimitroff — What comes next?

Are Falcons interested in Urban Meyer?

Former Ohio State and Florida coach Urban Meyer has been approached by two NFL teams, according to an ESPN report.

The Falcons, Lions and Texans have fired their coaches in-season. The Falcons fired coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff on Oct. 11.

ESPN, citing a source connected to one of those two teams, said Meyer is considering the offers and intends to make his decision “within the next week,” before the end of the NFL regular season.

Meyer, 56, last coached in 2018 at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes to a 13-1 record.

It’s highly unlikely that the Falcons would go the former college coach route after things went so poorly after they hired Bobby Petrino out of Louisville in 2007. He stayed just 13 games and went back to the college ranks to coach at Arkansas.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Falcons will interview Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy for the vacant head coach position on Monday.

The Falcons are knee deep in interviews for head coach and general manager. Bieniemy will have his chances this head coaching cycle after another successful season as Patrick Mahomes' signal caller. The Falcons may opt for an offensive minded coach following the Dan Quinn era, but 49ers DC Robert Salah is also in the mix. Both will take zoom interviews on Monday.
