The Atlanta Falcons may be on the verge of hiring their next coach after becoming compliant with the NFL's Rooney Rule. With in-person interviews of minority candidates like Raheem Morris and Ejiro Evero, the team is free to hire their next coach. Host Aaron Freeman speculates on when that might come and whether the team is days or weeks away from making their final decision.

He breaks down the team's interest in ex-Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel and whether he's potentially in the mix for their next head coach versus being tapped to become the heir apparent should the team hire Bill Belichick. He also discusses if the Falcons were ever a serious contender for University of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, now that he's in active talks with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Later, he looks back at the 2023 season to discuss the play of Kyle Pitts and the rest of the team's tight ends. He discusses the impact of Pitts' knee injury on his season and whether he'll bounce back in 2024. He also breaks down the looming decision in regards to Pitts' fifth-year option. He also discusses Jonnu Smith and Parker Hesse's value to the offense and whether a new coaching staff and play-caller will want to overhaul this position by trading away Pitts sooner versus later.
