Jim Harbaugh interviews with Atlanta Falcons
It’s been a busy week for Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh. Michigan won the national championship on January 8, Harbaugh and the team had a parade and celebration on Saturday in Ann Arbor, and now Harbaugh’s interviewed with two NFL teams in as many days.
On Monday Harbaugh interviewed with the Los Angeles Chargers.
And on Tuesday Harbaugh interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons reported the news after the interview was conducted.
We have interviewed Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh for our head coach opening
— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) January 17, 2024
The Falcons have been busy interviewing potential candidates including former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald and assistant head coach Anthony Weaver, Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, and San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks thus far. The Falcons finished the 2023 season 7-10 and fired head coach Arthur Smith.
There’s every reason to think more teams with a head coach vacancy will interview Harbaugh and the interviews won’t cease with just the Chargers and Falcons. Other teams needing a head coach include the Washington Commanders, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, Seattle Seahawks, and Carolina Panthers.
This is the third season in a row in which Harbaugh has interviewed with NFL teams. Two years ago he interviewed with the Minnesota Vikings, last year he interviewed with the Denver Broncos. However, it’s fair to say things are a bit different this time around — Harbaugh’s stock has never been higher after leading Michigan to their first outright national championship since 1948. An NFL team would be foolish not to consider hiring someone like Harbaugh, who’s built a team from the ground up wherever he’s been (San Diego Toreros, Stanford Cardinal, San Francisco 49ers, and Michigan).

Explosion reported in Midtown Atlanta; underground fire knocks out power to 4,000 customers
Residents reported hearing an explosion near a busy Midtown intersection Monday night, prompting a response from Atlanta Fire Rescue crews who later found and extinguished a small underground fire that knocked out power to thousands of customers.
Atlanta Fire Rescue said crews were called to the area of 11th Street and Crescent Avenue around 8 p.m. after witnesses reported hearing what sounded like an explosion. Firefighters located a small underground fire, which was quickly put out.
Atlanta police blocked off the area as a safety precaution, and officials urged the public to avoid the intersection while crews worked. No injuries were reported.
A Georgia Power spokesperson said it was an equipment failure that caused the outage affecting about 4,000 customers in Midtown Atlanta. The company said power was restored to most customers early Tuesday morning. Crews are still on scene to complete final repairs.
Less than 10 customers remain without power, according to the Georgia Power spokesperson, and service is expected to be fully restored by noon Tuesday. The utility company emphasized the outage was not related to the winter storm.

ATLANTA – An underground fire left over 2,000 people without power in Midtown Atlanta on Monday night.
What we know:
Fire crews responded to the scene at 11th Street and Crescent Avenue around 7:21 p.m. Bystanders reported hearing an explosion, and another person said a nearby cover was blown off.
Firefighters found a small underground fire that caused a transformer to blow. The flames have since been put out. Georgia Power has also responded to restore power knocked out by the incident.
According to the outage map, about 2,766 customers in the area are without power. Officials said the estimated restoration time is between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.
What we don’t know:
Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the underground fire.
What they’re saying:
Salomon Negash, who lives near where the fire occurred, was away getting groceries when the explosion happened. When Nash came home, he said he couldn’t return to his apartment because officials had blocked all entrances to his building.
“I’m glad they’re here, so I don’t have to worry about it, but I just want to get home,” Negash said. “I’m tired. I want to go to sleep.”

A day after the massive ice storm passed through Georgia, crews at the Atlanta airport are working to get business back to normal.
On Sunday, nearly 1,200 flights arriving or departing from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were canceled. Over 500 were delayed. At one point, the airport issued a ground delay that averaged around 117 minutes for all flights.
Monday’s situation at the airport was much calmer, despite below-freezing temperatures that caused the weekend’s rainfall to turn back into ice.
According to Flight Aware, 203 flights had been canceled — the majority of which were arrivals. The airport also reported 189 delayed flights as of Monday morning.
Across the country, over 4,600 flights were canceled. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines reported the fourth-most cancellations with 368, or 11% of flights.
In a release, Delta said its teams plan to resume operations as long as the weather permits. Customers should check on their flight status online or through their airline’s app.
Many airlines are still offering travel waivers, allowing customers to change their plans at no additional cost.
