The Falcons wrapped up their regular season on Sunday with a 44-27 loss to the Bucs. It was reported earlier that Atlanta will interview 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh for their vacant head coaching position, but he’s not the only one Arthur Blank will be meeting with on Monday, as Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy will also interview for the position, according to Ian Rapoport.
The #Falcons will have two head coach interviews tomorrow, as they are set to zoom with #49ers DC Robert Saleh, per coach Kyle Shanahan, and #Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy, per source.

Saleh and Bieniemy are two of the hottest names that NFL teams with open head coaching positions will be targeting. Last month, it was reported that Bieniemy is the ideal choice for Blank.
The Falcons are also currently without a general manager. We will see if they go the typical route and hire one before they pick a head coach, but Blank is not your typical owner. In the past, he’s been very hands on in coaching searches. Either way, whoever gets the job will need his blessing.
