Keeping track of Kevin Stefanski's Falcons hires

"Ulbrich, in turn, should be able to keep most of his staff. While there are genuine improvements to be made, especially against the run up front and in the cornerback room, the team's pass rush surge and contributions from young talent were major wins for Ulbrich and company. Defensive line coach Nate Ollie, who has proven to be a wizard when it comes to getting his groups to pressure quarterbacks, will hopefully also return."

"Rees, who spent one year as Stefanski's offensive coordinator in 2025, is not a hire I have overly strong feelings about. I'd expect Stefanski to call plays initially in Atlanta-I know he's given up those duties multiple times, but he's going to be working with a lot more talent with this Falcons team and likely will want to show he can still do it-and if he trusts Rees as his right hand man, so be it, hope it works."

Kevin Stefanski has been hired as Atlanta's next head coach and will assemble his coaching staff. Reporting indicates Ulbrich will stay on as defensive coordinator, a likely fit because Stefanski's specialty is offense. Ulbrich is expected to retain most of his staff after successful pass rush development and contributions from young players, with defensive line coach Nate Ollie likely returning. Per Dianna Russini, Tommy Rees and Bill Callahan are among candidates to join the Atlanta offense. Rees served one year as Stefanski's offensive coordinator in 2025, and Callahan's relationship with Stefanski suggests he could oversee an offensive line retooling.
