The Atlanta Falcons have made significant coaching changes, with Raheem Morris being given a five-year contract as the new head coach, an appointment that has been praised by players including Bijan Robinson who reacted with 'Praise God, Now Let's Rock!'. Following his appointment, Morris has made his most important hire by bringing in Zac Robinson as the new offensive coordinator. Robinson, who previously served as the Rams' pass-game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, has agreed to a three-year contract with the Falcons. This move comes as Morris begins to assemble his coaching staff, which also includes retaining Marquice Williams as special teams coordinator from Arthur Smith's staff. The Falcons' passing game, which ranked variably in the past three seasons under Smith, is expected to see changes under Robinson, who oversaw a Rams passing attack that ranked 27th in 2022 and 10th the previous season. In a remarkable personal day for Robinson, he also welcomed a new baby into his family on the same day he accepted the Falcons' position. Prior to joining the Falcons, Robinson had interviewed with the Bears, Patriots, and Saints virtually, and was also sought after by Tampa.
