The Falcons have been quickly filling their coaching staff out in recent days, and one of the biggest remaining pieces of the puzzle was offensive line coach. It was a given that Arthur Smith was going to make a change there, given that Chris Morgan had spent six seasons in Atlanta under three different offensive coordinators but was not one of Smith’s guys, and our eyes kept going to Tennessee.
Smith and the Falcons have thrown a curveball, however, as they’re hitting the college ranks to fill the vacancy. The new offensive line coach is Louisville offensive coordinator Dwayne Ledford, a former NFL center who played for the 49ers, Jaguars, Panthers, and Browns from 1999-2005.
