Atlanta reportedly hiring new assistant OL coach Shawn Flaherty

Atlanta recently lost assistant offensive line coach Chandler Henley to the Dolphins, where he took on a new position as an assistant quarterbacks coach. The Falcons have made their hire to replace him, and it’s...the assistant offensive line coach from the Dolphins. Life’s funny like that.

Per NFL analyst Will Parkinson and further confirmed by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Falcons have hired Shawn Flaherty after three years in Miami. Flaherty came aboard with his dad, 20-year NFL offensive line coach Pat Flaherty, back in 2019 and stuck around after the elder Flaherty was fired.

Shawn Flaherty heads to the #Falcons as a member of their coaching staff after three seasons as an assistant with the #Dolphins.
