The Atlanta Falcons are preparing information on several possible replacements for Mike Mularkey, who left his position as offensive coordinator to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday according to Jason La Canfora of NFL Network. Included on that list are: former Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, former Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick, Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and former New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Koetter has prior experience working with Falcons head coach Mike Smith. Billick, a former coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, has not filled that role in over a decade but is very close with Smith (they are related through marriage). The Falcons expect to begin interviewing candidates within the next few days. Source: The Redzone
Brian had a good run indoors while in Minny. Maybe he could duplicate that in Atlanta. But I do not know if he could stay in the parameters of that OC position due to his egotistical characteristics, and his penchant to over use extended extensive verbage. O'k, I put the Roget's Thesauras away for the day.......LOL.
I never thought he'd consider coming back to the NFL as a coordinator............but he was a good one in Minnesota, setting the points record in 1998.
