Falcons completed an interview with former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh for their head-coaching vacancy.

12 January 2026

It’s the first known interview for Harbaugh, who apparently did not leak his schedule to the entire insider crew at NFL Network. It would make sense for him to view this as one of the most appealing jobs out there despite the unsettled nature of the quarterback position, as the Falcons tied for the NFC South “lead” at 8-9 this year and have stars like Bijan Robinson and Drake London on tap along with a rising defense. We suspect we’ll be blurbing a lot more about this Harbaugh character over the next few days. He seems to be the first domino for most coaching searches.
