Who should the Falcons hire as their next HC?

I was surprised Dan Quinn wasn't fired after last week's debacle vs. Houston. I assume Mr. Blank is now assessing options and putting the pieces together behind the scenes for his next move. As a CEO, I guess he's not going to scrap Plan A until Plan B is in place. With that in mind, who do you think will be the Falcons' next head coach?
Rumors are swirling about Mike McCarthy being the leading candidate. I suppose college coaches like Lincoln Riley and Ryan Day could be in the mix. Any other candidates out there that you like?

I'm hearing Lane Kiffin.
Lincoln Riley.
Pruitt
That's funny.
Bill Belichick
@TNDawg71 and @GrayDawg. You guys are like a comedy team! Good stuff.
EDIT: And @Kasey too!
Would anyone be excited if Mike McCarthy was the choice? Or would that be disappointing?
There's definitely a tendency in coaching searches to go for what was lacking in the previous coach or least going in a contrasting direction. Quinn is viewed as a motivational, kind of rahrah defensive guy who hadn't been a HC before. That would tend to suggest Blank will look for for an offensive guy who is X's and O's based and who has previous HC experience. That's painting in broad stripes of course but might be a place to start.
Other candidates:
Eric Bieniemy (current Chiefs OC)
Chuck Pagano (former Colts HC)
Jim Harbaugh (current Michigan HC, former 49ers HC)
Disappointed but it would be a falcon type thing to do
Bienemy might be an interesting choice. McCarthy’s at least won a SB. No to Pagano and definitely no to Harbaugh.
@WCDawg‘s vote is for Lincoln Riley. WC goes “6:00 to midnight” just thinking about his offense.
I don't really like the NFL so I really don't care as long as its not CKS. Hope they hire captain kangaroo.
I'm hearing Bobby Petrino has some interest.
If the housecleaning doesn't include Dimitroff, it'll be an epic fail.
But what will probably happen, since it's Atlanta, is it won't happen till after the season & they'll win the last 3-4 games completely blowing the draft.
