Atlanta Falcons add 5 more assistants to coaching staff

The Atlanta Falcons have already filled the majority of positions on their coaching staff and head coach Raheem Morris hasn’t even been formally introduced by the team yet.

Former Rams quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson will take over as offensive coordinator, while Rams assistant head coach Jimmy Lake will step in as the new defensive coordinator. The team opted to keep Marquice Williams as the special teams coordinator.

On Friday, the Falcons officially hired five more assistant coaches.
