Is Dirk Koetter safe?

A crucial season lies ahead for many in the Falcons organization and many eyes will be on how the offense executes under veteran play caller Dirk Koetter.

Transitioning positions within a coaching staff is never easy. From moving on from a position coach who needs more seasoning to hiring a complete new face to guide the team, there is always a calculated risk behind it.

The Atlanta Falcons decided to take that gamble after the 2018 season by moving on from former offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. By doing that, they bet more on familiarity with the offensive personnel instead of the element of continuity of scheme and so forth.
