New coordinators join Quinn in Atlanta
On the day that the Atlanta Falcons introduced Dan Quinn as their new head coach, the team also announced the hiring of five new assistant coaches.
The Falcons on Tuesday hired Richard Smith as defensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan as offensive coordinator, Raheem Morris as assistant head coach/defensive passing game coordinator, Bobby Turner as running backs coach, and Mike LaFleur as offensive assistant.
The club has also retained special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong, defensive Line coach Bryan Cox, tight ends coach Wade Harman, wide receivers coach Terry Robiskie, and assistant special teams coach Eric Sutulovich.
Shanahan was the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns in 2014. His offense averaged 324.6 yards per game, including 108.0 yards per game on the ground, last season.
Smith spent the past four seasons as the linebackers coach for the Denver Broncos. During that span, the Broncos ranked third in rushing defense and seventh in total defense.
Morris has been the defensive backs coach for the Washington Redskins the past three years.
Bobby Turner joins the Falcons staff as running backs coach after holding the same position with the Washington Redskins for the last five seasons.
LaFleur joins the Falcons as an offensive assistant after spending the 2014 season as an offensive coaching intern with the Cleveland Browns.
