Why did Atlanta Falcons change course on Ryan Nielsen meeting with other teams?
The Atlanta Falcons have decided to allow assistant coaches to interview for vacancies elsewhere in the NFL, including defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. This is a shift from a few days ago, which begs the question what exactly changed over the past week. Host Aaron Freeman explains that it likely has nothing to do with the team being closer to hiring a new head coach, but instead may be due to them being further away.
Later, he looks at two potential candidates for the Falcons head coaching vacancy in Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. He discusses what these two coaches could do to build on Nielsen's successful defensive turnaround, while also looking at the styles of offense they might need or want in Atlanta.
