The Atlanta Falcons are hiring Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator, rejoining new head coach Kevin Stefanski after their time together on the Cleveland Browns' staff, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.
Rees, 33, spent this season as the Browns' offensive coordinator after serving as tight ends coach and passing game specialist in 2024. Stefanski yielded play-calling duties to Rees in November after Cleveland's 2-6 start.
The Browns (5-12) ranked 31st in points per game (16.4), 30th in total yards (262.1), 27th in rushing yards (97.0) and 31st in passing yards (140.3) in 2025.
Rees served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Notre Dame from 2020-22 and held the same roles at Alabama in 2023.
Atlanta hired veteran offensive line coach Bill Callahan on Tuesday, announced defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was being retained on Monday and hired Stefanski last Saturday to replace fired head coach Raheem Morris. Rees would be replacing Zac Robinson.
Matt Ryan, a legendary quarterback for the franchise, was brought back as the new president of football on Jan. 10.
Rees played four seasons at quarterback for Notre Dame (2010-13) and completed 59.8% of his passes for 7,670 yards, 61 touchdowns and 37 interceptions in 47 games.
