Falcons complete interviews with Brian Callahan, Steve Wilks

The Atlanta Falcons knocked out two more interviews for their coaching vacancy on Saturday. The team held virtual meetings with Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.

Callahan has served as Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator for the last five seasons and was praised for his work with Jake Browning in 2023 after Joe Burrow was ruled out for the year. The Falcons spoke to Callahan on Saturday afternoon before talking to Wilks later in the evening.

Wilks served as the 49ers defensive coordinator in 2023 and has experience as a head coach with both the Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals. He worked his way through the NFL coaching ranks as a defensive backs specialist with the Chicago Bears, San Diego Chargers and Carolina Panthers.

After interviewing with the Chargers earlier today, 49ers’ defensive coordinator Steve Wilks now has completed his head coaching interview with the Atlanta Falcons.
