ATLANTA — University of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for their head coaching vacancy on Tuesday, his second interview with an NFL team in two days.
The Falcons announced late Tuesday that they had conducted an interview with Harbaugh, who is exploring a return to the professional football ranks after leading the Wolverines to the College Football Playoff for the third straight year and his alma mater’s first national championship since 1997.
The Los Angeles Chargers announced Monday that Harbaugh had interviewed for their head coaching vacancy. He was the San Francisco 49ers’ coach from 2011-14 before nine seasons at Michigan.
The Falcons offered no details about the interview with Harbaugh.
Harbaugh is the second high-profile candidate to talk with the Falcons this week, following the team’s interview with Bill Belichick on Monday. Belichick, a six-time Super Bowl winner in his 24 seasons as head coach of the New England Patriots, made the Falcons his first known interview since leaving his former team last week.
