James Liipfert, Ian Cunningham the Finalists for Falcons GM Job
Houston Texans assistant general manager James Liipfert and Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham are the two finalists for the Atlanta Falcons' GM position, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Both Liipfert and Cunningham will be in Atlanta this week for second interviews. Liipfert is a Georgia native and had a strong first interview with the team. Cunningham has been viewed as "the" favorite for the job for a while now, and he also interviewed for the team's president of football job before it went to former quarterback Matt Ryan. Whoever is hired for the job to replace Terry Fontenot will be working closely with both Ryan and new head coach Kevin Stefanski to try to turn the organization around after eight straight losing seasons.
