The Facts:
The Falcons' interest in speaking with Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo illustrated the respect he has garnered in his first season here, but now that Big Blue is going to the Super Bowl, his stock is even higher. The Redskins reportedly want to speak with Spagnuolo about their head coaching post as well.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to the Daily News, the Falcons are interested enough in Spagnuolo that they have put their search on hold until they can speak with him. Teams are allowed to speak with Super Bowl-bound assistants this week, but only as a second interview. The Falcons tried to get a first interview with Spagnuolo after the Giants beat the Buccaneers in the wild-card round, but the Giants denied permission to Atlanta to avoid any distractions.
