Falcons to hire Bryan Cox as defensive line coach

The Falcons have hired former NFL player and coach Bryan Cox as defensive line coach, the team announced on Saturday.

After the 4-12 season, the Falcons fired defensive line coach Ray Hamilton.

Cox was the pass-rush specialist for Tampa Bay last season, but was not retained by new coach Lovie Smith. He has coached with Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan in the past.
