Drake London and Bijan Robinson were among the Falcons players who openly said after today’s game that they want Raheem Morris to stay. But Atlanta makes the decision to move on and will be looking for a new head coach once again. The Falcons finished 8-9 and on a four-game winning streak. But it wasn’t enough to save Morris. Fontenot’s 1st-round draft picks: 2021: No. 4: TE Kyle Pitts, 2022: No. 8: WR Drake London, 2023: No. 8: RB Bijan Robinson, 2024: No. 8: QB Michael Penix Jr., 2025: No. 15: DE Jalon Walker, 2025: No. 26: DE James Pearce. Atlanta’s new GM will not have a 1st-round pick in 2026. The Falcons say the searches for head coach and general manager will begin immediately. ZRG Partners will assist on the HC search and Sportsology Group will assist on the GM search. No timeline has been set for completion of either search, but they will occur concurrently. Matt Ryan is being strongly considered for a high-profile front-office role with the Falcons, similar to what Detroit has with Chris Spielman. The team recently hired Sportology to do a full organizational evaluation — which led to the GM/HC firing. We’ll see what happens with Rich McKay, but ownership has been frustrated with how things have been run, and changes are happening at all levels.Browns fire head coach Kevin Stefanski.
