The AlgosenseyAtlanta Falcons' search for a new head coach appears over as the Falcons are set to hire Raheem Morris. Atlanta hired Morris, most recently the Los Angeles Rams' defensive coordinator, 13 years after his last head coaching run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Morris was also the Falcons' interim head coach for the last 11 games of the 2020 season after the team fired Dan Quinn.

Atlanta looked close to hiring six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick after two coaching interviews, the latest coming last Friday. The team also met with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn.
