The Atlanta Falcons continued a busy Thursday in the search for their next head coach with the announcement that they have completed an interview with Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter for the position.
It's the second completed interview the Falcons announced on Thursday, along with Packers DC Jeff Hafley, and their eighth overall interviewed candidate for the vacancy.
Minter just concluded his second season with Los Angeles. His defense finished the 2025 regular season fifth in total defense (285.2 yards allowed per game) and ninth in scoring defense (20.0 points).
The 42-year-old has a healthy mix of NFL and collegiate coaching experience. He previously served as a defensive assistant and defensive backs coach for the Baltimore Ravens (2016-20), and as a defensive coordinator at Vanderbilt (2021) and Michigan (2022-23).
Minter is also interviewing with the Miami Dolphins on Thursday and has previously met with the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Ravens.
In addition to Minter and Hafley, Atlanta has interviewed former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh (reportedly the next Giants coach), former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, as well as Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and defensive coordinator Aden Durde.
