Former Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has a new gig. The Atlanta Falcons announced Sutton as their new senior assistant via their official Twitter account on Monday.
The Falcons fired Marquand Manuel from his defensive coordinator position this offseason, and head coach Dan Quinn announced he would be filling the role himself. The 68-year-old Sutton has been hired to help.
“Calling the defense, spending the extra time to get that right, and making sure our style and identity come across in the right way are exciting challenges,” Quinn said in a statement.
