Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday with two other teams reportedly scheduled to hold virtual meetings with him about their head-coaching jobs.
Slowik, 36, also was set to interview with the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders on Sunday, ESPN reported. He already has spoken with the Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers about their open positions.
The Falcons confirmed the interview, making him the 12th candidate to talk with the team.
Slowik has big-name competition. Bill Belichick, who has six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots, and national championship-winning coach Jim Harbaugh are among the Atlanta candidates.
Belichick has interviewed twice, and Harbaugh reportedly will have a second meeting with the team.
Slowik just completed his first season as an NFL offensive coordinator with the Houston Texans, who were eliminated from the postseason with a 34-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC divisional round on Saturday.
Before joining new head coach DeMeco Ryans in Houston, Slowik spent six seasons on the staff of Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco. He started as a defensive quality control assistant in 2017 before rising to passing game coordinator.
In Houston, Slowik guided an offense led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud as the Texans finished 10-7 and won the AFC South.
The Texans finished the regular season 12th in the NFL in total offense (342.4 yards per game), seventh in passing yards (245.5) and tied for 13th in points (22.2).
