The #Falcons have requested to interview #LSU co-offensive coordinator Cortez Hankton for their vacant OC job under Raheem Morris, sources say. He helped develop Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, two potential 1st round picks.
Thought we were out of the woods

You take that right?

Hankton won’t last forever at LSU, but feels like a weird move to hire a college Co-OC without play calling experience to an NFL OC position under a defensive head coach.

If this isn’t just to satisfy the pandering Rooney Rule Atlanta might be on a quest to put together the worst staff in the NFL. He’s never been a play caller at any level or an NFL coach. So hiring him to be OC seems like a good decision

Seemingly every reporter instantly stated Zac Robinson would likely follow Morris to ATL, that still seem like the mostly likely thing to happen
Rooney rule extends to coordinators as well.
ETA but I would expect him to get a job like this eventually. Might be this cycle, more likely next. Need to keep a list ready for a replacement either way.

It never ends. Can’t we just enjoy a complete coaching staff for one fricking week?!!!!

OC or WR coach?
Posted on 1/26/24 at 8:59 pm to 1999
Pigeons will likely bring in former Rams coach to be the OC. Not sure if he would leave to be a position coach in the NFL

Damn! When CBK hears the phone ring, does he say..."Good Lord, who's leaving now???"

Luckily Woodward can bring in Jimbo as Co-OC.

No way the falcons hire a guy who's never called plays before

Falcons aren’t interviewing if there is not mutual interest
If hankton wants in the nfl then he likely goes

There’s likely more to this “interview” than simply the OC position. The Bears interviewed Kliff Kingsbury last week for their OC position, but much of the conversation centered around Caleb Williams.
The Falcons could be doing something similar, using the interview to gather insight into Brian Thomas, Malik Nabers, or possibly Jayden Daniels.
Raheem Morris and Hankton have crossed paths in their careers. Morris could also be doing an old friend a favor by interviewing him, thus raising his profile in coaching circles.
NFL interviews are rarely what most people envision. There isn’t a boss on one side of the table asking a series of questions to a potential employee. “Interviews” are conversations about football philosophy, techniques, trends, etc.
Again, Morris and Hankton know each other. Both realize Hankton is a long shot to be hired, but worst case is an up and coming college coach spends a few hours talking football with NFL coaches and executives. Both walk away with insight and knowledge they didn’t have beforehand.

He gone

I think very highly of Hankton, and I can see the Falcons hiring him as a WR coach, but I am not sure that he has the credentials to be an NFL OC right now.
