Atlanta Falcons appoint Kyle Shanahan, Richard Smith as coordinators

The Atlanta Falcons have confirmed the staff that will be joining head coach Dan Quinn at the club for the 2015 season.

Quinn was appointed as the 16th head coach in the club's history after moving from the Seattle Seahawks following their Super Bowl loss on Sunday.

The 44-year-old will be joined by Kyle Shanahan, who will become the offensive coordinator after leaving the Cleveland Browns at the end of the season, while Richard Smith assumes the role of defensive coordinator following his move from the Denver Broncos.

Raheem Morris also joins the club as the assistant head coach along with another role specified as defensive passing game coordinator.

The Falcons recorded a 6-10 record in the NFL in the 2014 season.
