When this process began, I never would have suspected that the Falcons would hire 2012-2014 offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter as their replacement for Steve Sarkisian. Yet that’s exactly what they’ve done, as we learned today that Koetter is the newest Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator.
And on the day rhe Buccaneers decide on their next head coach, the Falcons hire former Buccaneers’ HC Dirk Koetter as their new offensive coordinator, per source. The two sides just reached agreement, per source.

Why Koetter? The Falcons will have plenty to say, I’m certain, but familiarity with Matt Ryan has to be a leading factor whether the team will admit it or not.
