The Atlanta Falcons announced eight candidates that they'd like to interview for their head coaching vacancy. Host Aaron Freeman and guest Jarvis Davis (@LockedOnATL) discuss which candidates stand out, specifically Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and why a reunion in Atlanta makes sense.

Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, Baltimore Ravens defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks are the seven others on the Falcons' radar.

Later, they discuss why they're surprised to see Univesity of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh not on that list and debate why they're not in love with the idea of former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick heading south to Atlanta.
