The Falcons have had one intresting season this year. This will be the sixth head coach that Blank will set out to hire since he bought the team in 2002. During his ownership, the Falcons have made the playoffs eight times, including the Super Bowl in 2016.
Blank said general manager Terry Fontenot, who was in not attendance during Monday’s news conference, will be “heavily involved” in the process going forward as will others.
But Blank will have the final decision on the next head coach. The Falcons owner stressed there is no timetable for when that will be.
“The only timetable is to do this correctly. We’ll take our time. Be thoughtful. Do all of the interviews. Be respectful. Make sure we have a full diverse set of candidates that we’re considering in every way, and give each and every one of them an opportunity to express their vision for our football team, for our franchise, the roster and where we are,” Blank said.
