Legendary New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick wasn't the only candidate who received a call back from the Atlanta Falcons for a second interview. 

University of Michigan's Jim Harbaugh will also meet with the Falcons for a second time, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. 

The #Falcons are scheduling a second interview with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for next week, per sources.

Harbaugh has spent the last nine years coaching the Wolverines, recently leading them to a 34-13 National Championship win over the Washington Huskies.  

Before Michigan, Harbaugh was the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers for four seasons. Under Harbaugh, the 49ers went 44-19-1 overall and made a 2012 Super Bowl appearance where he lost 34-31 to his brother and Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. 

Mike Vrabel to Interview in Atlanta Next Week

In addition to announcing Harbaugh's second interview, the Falcons added another potential head coach to their list on Friday: former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel. 

After his in-person meeting with the Chargers on Thursday, Mike Vrabel is scheduled to continue his tour next Wednesday with an in-person meeting in Atlanta with Arthur Blank and other key members of the Falcons organization, sources say.

According to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Vrabel will interview with the Los Angeles Chargers next Thursday before heading to Atlanta to meet with Falcons owner Arthur Blank and staff. 

Vrabel's dismissal from the Titans earlier this month came by surprise. In seasons at Tennessee, Vrabel led the Titans to a 54-45 record, along with three playoff berths and a trip to the AFC Championship Game in 2019.

Falcons 13 Head Coach Candidates

So far, the Falcons have a total of 13 head coach candidates on their list to replace Arthur Smith:

• Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel
