Falcons make it official: Tommy Rees is the new offensive coordinator
Tommy Rees, a former college quarterback at Notre Dame, was named the Falcons offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.
In other moves, the Falcons named Jacqueline Roberts manager of coaching operations and retained senior defensive assistant Dave Huxtable, assistant offensive line coach Nick Jones and running backs coach Michael Pitre.
The upper hierarchy of new Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski’s staff is starting to take shape.
Rees joins Jeff Ulbrich, who is returning as the defensive coordinator after one year with the team.
Bill Callahan was hired as the offensive line coach Jan. 20.
Rees, who played quarterback at Notre Dame from 2010-13, was the Browns’ offensive coordinator last season.
Rees, 33, was hired by the Browns as their pass-game coordinator in 2024 after a stint at Alabama as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He took over the play-calling duties from Stefanski after Week 10 last season.
Zac Robinson, who was the Falcons’ offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, was hired by the Bucs.
