The Atlanta Falcons have been busy in their head-coaching search, already interviewing three candidates with four more scheduled this week.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Falcons interviewed Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase and New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on Friday, and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn on Saturday.

Potential candidates coming this week are Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and former Buffao Bills coach Doug Marrone.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank fired the franchise’s winningest head coach, Mike Smith, on Dec. 29.

The Falcons are working with Korn Ferry, a search firm that has assisted several teams in the selection of coaches and general managers. According to reports, former Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns executive Joe Banner is consulting with the team for the coaching search.

The fate of Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff remains uncertain.

The coaching hire will be a determining factor in Dimitroff’s standing with the team. Blank has reportedly informed his personnel department, including Dimitroff and top aide Scott Pioli, that the new head coach will have a say in the make-up of the front office.
