NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Tommy Rees is a strong candidate to become the Falcons’ offensive coordinator and work under Stefanski again. Rees is currently interviewing with the Browns for their head coaching job, so a move to Atlanta would be a blow to Cleveland. 🧭🔥
The development would force the Browns to hire a new offensive coordinator and a head coach, potentially before they even hire a leader for the top job. If Stefanski does bring Rees with him, Cleveland could lose a prime candidate for their own HC opening. 🧭💥
Rees has a history with Stefanski: Stefanski hired him in 2024 as pass game specialist and tight ends coach after Rees’ time at Alabama, and Rees was named offensive coordinator in 2025. The Browns showed interest in Rees as a possible head coach; GM Andrew Berry said both Rees and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz would have a chance to interview, though he wouldn’t confirm retention if they didn’t land the HC job. 🧑💼📈
Stefanski’s Falcons tenure began with an official announcement and a statement of excitement to coach the franchise, as the Browns’ era under his leadership ended with a 45-56 record over six seasons. 🐦🏁
