Falcons bring back former offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey as TEs coach
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY SportsIf you were excited to see Dirk Koetter come back as Atlanta’s new offensive coordinator, you’ll love this news. Mike Mularkey will also return to the Falcons fold as the team’s tight ends coach.
Mularkey was Matt Ryan’s first coordinator as a pro, serving under Mike Smith from Ryan’s rookie season in 2008 through 2011. That team made the playoffs in each season but 2009, earning Mularkey Offensive Coordnator of the Year honors from Sporting News in 2010 and leading to serious consideration of Mularkey as a head coach candidate. He spent the 2012 season as the Jaguars head coach, finishing 2-14.
