The Falcons have added Will Harriger as an offensive assistant coach. Harriger spent the past five seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Falcons officially announced Dan Quinn’s revamped staff and Harriger was the only change that had not been announced.

“This staff brings a lot of experience and energy into 2019,” Quinn said in a statement released by the team. “We are looking forward to building the chemistry it takes to play and coach to the high standards the team has set.”

In addition to working in Seattle, Harriger also coached at Tennessee-Martin (2006, 2009), Auburn (2007), Texas (2008), Texas Tech (2010-11) and Florida (2012-13).
