Report: Falcons hire Miami University’s Jess Simpson as defensive line coach

Just when things start settling down for the Falcons the team reportedly makes a coaching change. The move itself should not be too surprising. Bryant Young came in with his Hall of Fame pedigree but the former player failed to get much progress out of the defensive line. We expected Bryant to get fired this offseason after underwhelming seasons from Vic Beasley and Takkarist McKinley. Neither top player developed and neither looked particularly well coached.

Now he’s likely gone as his replacement has reportedly been hired.
