The Falcons have been making a series of moves to fill out their coaching staff, as we noted this morning, but there was no announcement regarding the quarterbacks coach position. That position has been vacant since Charles London was hired as the passing game coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, and it’s a critical one with the Falcons either making a big move at the quarterback position or rolling with a young player in Desmond Ridder.
Today, we learned that there will be no official quarterbacks coach, with offensive coordinator Dave Ragone taking over that role. We mentioned him as a potential candidate back in early February, given his background as a quarterbacks coach and former NFL quarterback, and the team confirmed Monday that he’ll add those responsibilities to his plate.
