This hire comes approximately 1 month after Atlanta promoted assistant offensive line coach, Kyle Flood to game management coach. Weeks after being promoted, Flood bolted for the University of Alabama to become the offensive line coach under, ex-Falcons and now current, Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian.
Before pitchforks are raised about the hire and his potential fingerprints on the defense, it’s been noted that Bob Sutton is here to help with game and clock management and assist with the duties on game day that Dan Quinn won’t have the time to do after taking over duties as defensive coordinator.
