The Atlanta Falcons aren't wasting any time. 

Just a day after the team announced that they have interviewed future Hall of Fame coach Bill Belichick, the Falcons announced on Tuesday night that they have also interviewed Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh. 

The Los Angeles Chargers are the only other team that have interviewed Harbaugh. 

Along with Belichick and Harbaugh, the Falcons have also interview Ravens Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Line Anthony Weaver, Panthers Defensive Coordinator Ejiro Evero, 49ers Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks, Bengals Offensive Coordinator Brian Callahan, and Ravens Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald. 

Harbaugh is coming off a National Championship, having led Michigan to victory over Washington earlier this month. So it's clear that he has the winning mentality that any team would want. 

After the Falcons announced this, BetOnline.ag updated the odds for who will be the next head coach in Atlanta. Belichick still has the lead at -150, but Harbaugh is close behind at +200.
