Senior defensive assistant Bob Sutton, tight ends coach Ben Steele, defensive backs coach Doug Mallory and defensive assistant Lance Schulters were not retained, as their contracts with the Falcons were allowed to expire, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution learned Friday.
Only wide receivers coach David Brock and offensive quality-control assistant Danny Breyer were retained from Dan Quinn’s coaching staff.
Smith has almost completed his staff, but he has some more lower-level positions to fill.
