Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Richard Smith will not continue in that role following the team's loss in Super Bowl LI, reports The Sporting News.
Smith might be moved to another position on the team.
According to the report, defensive line coach Bryan Cox was also fired after the Falcons blew a 25-point third quarter lead before losing to the New England Patriots 34–28 in overtime.
Atlanta's defense was on the field for 93 snaps in the Super Bowl and gave up 546 yards to New England Patriots.
Cox was on the staff for the past three seasons.
