Falcons fire special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica, promote Jeff Ulbrich to defensive coordinator

The Falcons are apparently not done shuffling things on their coaching staff. A day after announcing the firing of Dan Quinn and the same day as the team installed Raheem Morris as the interim head coach, they’ve announced the firing of special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica. The team has promoted running backs coach Bernie Parmalee, who spent time as an assistant special teams coach with the Falcons and Dolphins, to special teams coordinator, and have installed Jeff Ulbrich as the new defensive coordinator. Will Harriger is now the running backs coach.
