ATLANTA - With Rex Ryan no longer an option, three defensive co-ordinators, including Arizonas Todd Bowles, may lead the Atlanta Falcons coach search. The Falcons are expected to conduct second interviews with Bowles and Detroits Teryl Austin this week. The team must wait for a follow-up meeting with Seattle defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn, who is off-limits this week as the Seahawks prepare for the NFC championship game. Ryan, the former Jets coach, accepted an offer to become Buffalos coach following his interview with the Falcons last week. The Bills announced Ryan as their new coach on Monday, one day after he reached an agreement with the team. That leaves the defensive co-ordinators as possible front-runners to replace fired coach Mike Smith. Detroit, Seattle and Arizona all ranked among the NFLs top eight teams in total defence this season. The Falcons also have interviewed New England offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels, Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase and former Bills coach Doug Marrone. If the Seahawks beat Green Bay on Sunday, Quinn may not be open for more talks with Atlanta until after the Feb. 1 Super Bowl. Bowles, 51, was Philadelphias defensive co-ordinator in 2012 before guiding the Cardinals defence the last two years. He previously worked as a defensive assistant with the Jets, Cleveland, Dallas and Miami. He was 2-1 as the Dolphins interim head coach in 2011. He played eight seasons in the NFL with Washington and San Francisco. Austin, 49, was Baltimores defensive co-ordinator for three years before being named Detroits defensive co-ordinator before the 2014 season. Lions coach Jim Caldwell says he Austin is ready to be a head coach despite having only one season as a co-ordinator. He has all of the qualities that youre looking for, Caldwell said last week. Caldwell said Austin has the technical knowledge and the emotional sort of connection with his players needed to be a head coach. McDaniels would add another layer to the Falcons Patriots connections. Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff was New Englands director of college scouting before he came to Atlanta in 2008. Scott Pioli, director of player personnel for the Patriots from 2000-08, was hired as Atlantas assistant general manager last year. Pioli was given new duties in pro and college scouting and the NFL draft last week as team owner Arthur Blank restructured the personnel department. Pioli will continue to report to Dimitroff. Dimitroff and the new coach will report separately to Blank. A possible wild-card candidate could emerge in Dallas. Cowboys coach Jason Garretts contract expired when Dallas lost to Green Bay in the playoffs on Sunday. He is free to talk with any team. Garrett, then the Cowboys offensive co-ordinator, had two interviews with the Falcons in 2008 before Smith was hired. He was considered a top candidate before deciding to remain with Dallas, where he already was the designated successor to coach Wade Phillips. The Falcons search was delayed last week following the death of Blanks 99-year-old mother, Molly, on Wednesday in Atlanta. Steve Avery Jersey .

United on Saturday, March 22 at 4:30 p.LUCERNE, Switzerland - Star forward Xherdan Shaqiri scored a rare right-footed goal to help Switzerland beat Peru 2-0 in its final World Cup warm-up match on Tuesday. The Bayern Munich winger struck in the 84th minute, finishing smartly after taking a long through pass in his stride. Switzerland right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner headed the opening goal in the 78th from left-back Ricardo Rodriguezs cross.

In a testy first half, Peru pair Luis Ramirez and Paolo Hurtado were both booked after incidents with Swiss captain Gokhan Inler. Hurtado threatened in the 41st, exploiting a big hole in the Swiss defence to fire a curling shot that goalkeeper Diego Benaglio dived to tip beyond his left-hand post. Shaqiri was the only one of Hitzfelds likely World Cup starting 11 who began on the bench Tuesday, and his introduction in the 64th was key to changing the game. His sweeping pass found Rodriguez, whose floated ball into the goalmouth found Lichtsteiner rising to meet it with a header high into the top-right corner. Six minutes later, Inlers long pass released Shaqiri to poke a shot through the legs of goalkeeper George Forsyth. ' ' '
