The Atlanta Falcons are taking their time putting together a coaching staff for 2025. The team must fill two positions after dismissing defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake and defensive line coach Jay Rodgers last week. Thus far, the Falcons have been linked to four names for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
Two candidates — Michigan defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and New York Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich — have completed interviews while two others — former Bengals DC Lou Anarumo and former Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks — are set to meet with the team next week.
