Report: Falcons to interview ex-Bills coach Doug Marrone
The Atlanta Falcons are interviewing former Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone on Monday for their vacant coaching position, reports the New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta.
Marrone opted out his contract with the Bills last week after only after two seasons because of concerns about Buffalo's new ownership. He can negotiate a new contract with other teams and still collect his $4 million salary that the Bills owe him for the 2015 season.
