[Feldman] SOURCE: Falcons defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen is expected to interview for the Jaguars DC job.
January 17, 2024
Feldman is connected, so I think this is legit. This makes me think we’ve talked to our short list of HC candidates already, we feel good about landing at least one of them, and they’re not interested in retaining Neilsen. Bummer because Neilsen did an awesome job this season.

*Nielsen, not Neilsen
Right after announcing the Jim Harbaugh interview.. dude this might actually happen.
That’s too bad, really liked what he did for the defense this year. Of course the right head coach hire could make me get over it real quick.
Womp, womp. 😔
Don’t love that. But if we bring in BB or Harbaugh, we’ll be okay
I’m chuckling because everyone’s been saying OC’s get poached, and our luck is that we have a good DC for 1 year and now he’s getting poached.
Was reported last week we blocked the interview. So maybe we got our guy, and letting Nielsen get out there for another gig?
I think it means BB more than JH but we’ll see. He would be more inclined to run the defense but maybe JH has his guy he’ll bring in.
I could be very wrong but to me this seems like it’s going to be Belichick or Harbaugh.
“Nielsen made a big impact in his 1st season, improving the Falcons from 26th to 7th in YPP allowed; from 31st in the NFL to 3rd in 3rd down D; and from 25th to 8th in pass defense”
Damn I hate to see him go.
means they got a HC.
why deny at first, then let him.
God damnit
Before we met with BB we were blocking these interviews and now after we’ve met we’re allowing these interviews. The Falcons FO obviously knows their next HC is going to bring their own staff.
Yeah. Sorry about poaching one of y’all coaches. We’re pretty desperate for another DC right now since the last one was absolute garbage. Hope y’all get a good coach that can take y’all to the promised land.
I don’t see us letting him walk unless we have our guy and he’s bringing his own staff, even if the interviews were all saying that it would be kinda short sighted to cut bait, we still haven’t sat down with slowik or Johnson yet.
Damn was really hoping for Ben Johnson but sounds like they made their decision already
