Summary
- Kevin Stefanski is the leading candidate for the Atlanta Falcons head coach position.
- John Harbaugh is reportedly nearing a deal to become the New York Giants' head coach.
- Falcons face quarterback decisions with Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr.
Kevin Stefanski, recently dismissed by the Cleveland Browns, is reportedly the leading candidate to become the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Simultaneously, John Harbaugh, who was fired by the Baltimore Ravens, is understood to be close to accepting the head coaching position with the New York Giants. This potential shift follows a period of significant coaching changes across the NFL.
The Falcons, who finished their 2025 season 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the eighth consecutive year, are looking to capitalize on a young roster. Incoming coach Stefanski will inherit a complex quarterback situation, with veteran Kirk Cousins on a substantial contract and first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. poised for development.
Stefanski's tenure with the Browns saw him compile a 45-56 record over six seasons, with only two winning seasons. The Falcons' decision comes after a period of evaluation by new president Matt Ryan, with both Stefanski and Harbaugh having been interviewed for the vacancy left by Raheem Morris.
