Falcons Twitter reacts to Chargers hiring head coach Jim Harbaugh
The Atlanta Falcons are two weeks into their coaching search and it’s becoming less clear what team owner Arthur Blank and CEO Rich McKay are going to do. The team has interviewed 14 different coaches thus far and a few of them have already taken jobs elsewhere.
Cross Jim Harbaugh off that list as the former Michigan coach was officially hired by the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday evening. Atlanta reportedly had an interview scheduled with Harbaugh for Thursday but the Chargers never let him out of the building.
Some Falcons fans were upset about losing Harbaugh to Los Angeles, while others speculated on what the team might do next.
Good for the #Chargers fan base.
Ownership never let Jim Harbaugh out the building for his scheduled follow-up meeting with the #Falcons.
That’s how you wrap things up! https://t.co/pkzcJfERDt

It really is going to be Ben Johnson or Bobby Slovic isn’t it….
Gosh this is demoralizing, but it’s not because of Tempe HC tbh. It’s the fact we know Rich McKay is a issue lol #Falcons

Ben Johnson is the best candidate tho. https://t.co/uQXi6iZYhj

If the #Falcons get much more thorough in their coaching search they aren't going to have anyone left to hire. #DirtyBirds https://t.co/vLbmMsdo88

Jim Harbaugh to the Chargers. Such a great hire.
Arthur Blank please stop listening to Rich McKay and hire a HC that will help the #Falcons win again. pic.twitter.com/LhiVo1uXdq

My #Falcons will fumble this coaching search, won’t they!? They seem to be undergoing the classic analysis paralysis. Here comes Matt Patricia to the #DirtyBirds sidelines.🤮 #NFL https://t.co/I3vvuUhunf

To me, Weaver is the dark horse candidate that ends up being a great HC for the long haul. Just my take on him. https://t.co/8WXuobeSs1

Whelp looks like it’ll either be Belichick or an young unproven guy for the #Falcons https://t.co/HvTYmoHO6Y

Well, #Falcons fans, I guess we go after Ben Johnson now. Or do we still go after Belichick? https://t.co/ervItgV5pD

Well I didn’t get my top choice for head coach in Jim Harbaugh. What a surprise.
If they get Ben Johnson I’ll be fine. But I’m sure it’s going to be some idiot that will make absolutely no sense. #Falcons

#Falcons haven’t had a winning season in 7 years.
Falcons haven’t won the division since 2016.
Falcons haven’t won a playoff game since 2018.
Bill Belichick and Kirk Cousins give Atlanta the best chance to change that.

Has any other team in the entire NFL even interviewed Bill Bellicheck for a head coaching position? I mean he’s the goat coach. Forget interview, has any other team shown interest in him? If the Atlanta Falcons are the only team that thinks it’s a good idea, that speaks volumes… pic.twitter.com/Xfq7Tykaqz

Kirk Cousins and a rookie QB, like Jayden Daniels. #Falcons https://t.co/lSvZVqDhHz
