Falcons rumored to be considering Dean Pees for defensive role on Arthur Smith’s staff

The rumors about who will be joining the Falcons’ new coaching staff are coming in hot and heavy here shortly after Arthur Smith was hired, which means he’s likely moving fast to fill his staff. Yesterday, we heard from insider Adam Caplan that Chicago Bears passing game coordinator Dave Ragone might be the offensive coordinator under Smith, and today we’re hearing something new for the defensive side of the ball.

Where Ragone is a relatively unproven coach who hopefully will mesh well with Smith, the guy the Falcons might bring aboard for a defensive role is a living legend.
