Overview

  • Atlanta announced the hiring Tuesday, making Callahan, 69, the first offensive assistant added to Kevin Stefanski’s staff.
  • Callahan reunites with Stefanski after four seasons together in Cleveland and most recently coached Tennessee’s offensive line in 2024–25 before departing following Brian Callahan’s October firing.
  • Across 48 years in college and the NFL, Callahan has developed 14 offensive linemen to 35 Pro Bowl selections and previously held head-coaching roles with the Raiders and Nebraska, plus an interim stint in Washington.
  • He replaces Dwayne Ledford as offensive line coach as the Falcons retain defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and president Matt Ryan continues the search for a new general manager.
  • Reporting indicates Stefanski is likely to bring Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees to Atlanta, and the offensive line is expected to return all five starters in 2026, including tackle Kaleb McGary.
