Tomlin in the ATL?
The Atlanta Falcons are looking for a new head coach, and Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin could emerge as a candidate for two reasons.
First, Tomlin was a key assistant for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2003, when they won Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego. Rich McKay, currently the Falcons president and general manager, was also a part of that Super Bowl team, as the general manager.
Second, Tomlin is from Hampton, Virginia, which is 10 minutes from Newport, where Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is from.
Given how well he relates to players, you think Tomlin and Vick could get along?
Tomlin may be young, and he may only have one year as a defensive coordinator. But anyone who has spent any time with him knows that he is naturally charismatic. Get him in front of an owner like Arthur Blank, and he could walk out of there with a blank check.

Too bad we can't dump Childress & hire Tomlin ourselves. Childress' offense is offensive to anyone with a football mind.
