Falcons Name Tommy Rees Offensive Coordinator, Reuniting Him With Kevin Stefanski

The move reunites Kevin Stefanski with his former Browns assistant, leaving Cleveland to replace its offensive coordinator during its head-coach search.

Overview

  • Atlanta announced the hire Thursday, confirming earlier reports after Rees traveled to the city on Wednesday.
  • Rees spent the past two seasons under Stefanski in Cleveland, becoming offensive coordinator in 2025 and taking over play-calling in Week 10 after a 2-6 start.
  • He inherits an offense featuring All-Pro Bijan Robinson and receiver Drake London, with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. working back from November knee surgery.
  • It is not yet determined whether Stefanski or Rees will call offensive plays for the Falcons in 2026.
  • Cleveland’s 2025 offense ranked 31st in scoring and 30th in yards, and the Browns must now fill the OC role while advancing a head-coach search that must satisfy Rooney Rule interview requirements.
