Falcons hire former Chiefs DC Bob Sutton as senior assistant, game-management coach

The Falcons’ defensive staff is going to look a lot different from last season. The biggest change, obviously, is Quinn himself replacing Marquand Manuel. Now there’s one new face “to help” the defense: long-time Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.

The #Falcons will have Dan Quinn calling the defense and serving as the de facto coordinator this year, but they just hired former #Chiefs DC Bob Sutton as a Senior Assistant to help.

Sutton, obviously just fired by the Chiefs, ends his time with the team on a negative.
