ATLANTA — New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said Monday his interview for the Atlanta Falcons’ coaching vacancy was “fine.”
McDaniels also interviewed with the San Francisco 49ers last week. In his weekly conference call, he described the interviews as “initial meetings.”
“They were fine,” McDaniels said. “It’s part of the process and (you’re) always obviously privileged that anybody wants to speak with you about anything like that.”
The Falcons are expected to interview former Jets coach Rex Ryan on Tuesday. Ryan had two interviews with Atlanta before the team hired Mike Smith in 2008.
Smith was fired last week following a 6-10 finish in 2014.
McDaniels would bring another Patriots connection to an Atlanta franchise already heavily influenced by New England’s philosophies.
Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff was New England’s director of college scouting before he came to Atlanta in 2008.
