The Falcons lost one head coach candidate on Thursday.
ESPN reported that Jason Garrett will remain with Dallas as the team's offensive coordinator. Garrett left Atlanta Wednesday after having a second interview with the Falcons and was said to be considering his options. He also was a candidate for the head coach job in Baltimore.
The move would leave former Baltimore defensive coordinator Rex Ryan as the only other head coach candidate to have had a second interview with the Falcons, which included a first meeting with new general manager Thomas Dimitroff. That interview took place Tuesday.
The team had not scheduled anyone else for a second interview. Indianapolis assistant head coach Jim Caldwell reportedly has withdrawn his name as a candidate for the Falcons' job.
Ryan could be the favorite to be the Falcons' hire, however Dimitroff has said he will not rush the process. There may be other candidates the Falcons would like to interview. They were denied permission to speak to New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo this month. The Giants play in the NFC Championship Game this weekend. The Falcons could try again to interview Spagnuolo once the Giants season is over.

There is a poll on there also and 80% feel Atlanta needs to keep looking.
