Falcons launch Stefanski era with staff clarity, QB questions, and GM hunt

Atlanta introduces Kevin Stefanski as the Falcons’ head coach, highlighting his Browns success and two AP Coach of the Year awards. He’ll have Tommy Rees call the offense, with Ulbrich retained as defensive coordinator. The QB plan centers on Michael Penix Jr.’s rehab and a potential role for Kirk Cousins, while Stefanski assesses a roster that includes Bijan Robinson and anticipates future roster moves. The team is conducting a broad GM search and will continue to refine both coaching and front-office leadership, aiming for 2026 and beyond after an 8-9 2025 season.

Stefanski Exit Exposes Browns Front-Office Fractures in Coaching Search

After Kevin Stefanski’s departure, the Browns’ coaching search has become a public, internal power struggle with owner Haslam backing GM Andrew Berry while top candidates slip away. Stefanski’s quick move to Atlanta to pursue the head coach role—and the hiring of Browns OC Tommy Rees by the Falcons—highlights ongoing concerns about Cleveland’s personnel decisions, including a faltering offense, shaky QB situation, and a historically poor special-teams unit that critics say reflect organizational issues more than coaching powder.

The Atlanta Falcons announced several coaching moves under new head coach Kevin Stefanski: Tommy Rees was named offensive coordinator and Jacqueline Roberts was named manager of coaching operations, while veteran assistants Dave Huxtable, Nick Jones and Michael Pitre were retained. Rees comes from the Browns, where he served as tight ends coach/pass game specialist in 2024 and was promoted to offensive coordinator before 2025, taking play-calling duties in Week 10 last season. Roberts joined the Falcons from the Browns, having started as a team logistics intern in 2024 and been promoted to coordinator of coaching logistics in 2025, also assisting with coaching operations at the 2025 Senior Bowl.

Falcons set to hire Tommy Rees as next offensive architect

The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly hiring Tommy Rees, the Browns’ former offensive coordinator and ex Notre Dame OC, to be their new OC under head coach Kevin Stefanski. Rees would reunite with Stefanski after two seasons in Cleveland, including a 2025 OC stint that followed Stefanski assuming play-calling duties and a season that contributed to Stefanski’s firing after a 5-12 record. Atlanta hopes to leverage a star-powered roster with Bijan Robinson and Drake London while developing quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who is returning from knee surgery.
