The Atlanta Falcons avoided major changes this offseason with top personnel like head coach Raheem Moore and general manager Terry Fontenot returning. The one notable change, other than whatever actually happens with Kirk Cousins, was Jimmy Lake’s firing. Lake coaches a scrappy yet overperforming defense into a scrappy yet underperforming defense in only season.
Now the coordinator search is on. For some, the search kicking off early with a coordinator with a long working history with Moore may have set off cause for concern. After all, there is a difference between the best coach available and the best coach available who has worked with Moore.
