Atlanta Falcons hire ex-Rutgers coach Kyle Flood as assistant

Fifteen months after Kyle Flood's tumultuous Rutgers football tenure came to an end, the former Scarlet Knights coach is back on the sidelines.

In the wake of their Super Bowl 51 loss to the New England Patriots, the Atlanta Falcons have hired Flood as an assistant offensive line coach, the team announced Friday morning.

Flood resurfacing in Atlanta makes sense since he formerly worked with Falcons head coach Dan Quinn at Hofstra in the early 2000s.

Former Rutgers offensive coordinator Dave Brock, who was fired as Delaware head coach following the 2016 season, also joined the Falcons staff as an offensive assistant.
