Falcons tab Bill Callahan as offensive line coach

Bill Callahan will rejoin Kevin Stefanski and work as the offensive line coach for the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced Tuesday.

The move was expected after Stefanski agreed to become Atlanta's head coach on Saturday.

Callahan, 69, served as Stefanski's offensive line coach for the Cleveland Browns from 2020-23 before leaving to work for his son, Brian Callahan, with the Tennessee Titans. Bill Callahan departed the Titans on Oct. 14, one day after Brian was fired as the team's head coach midway through this season.

Bill Callahan served as a head coach with the then-Oakland Raiders (2002-03) and as interim head coach of the Washington franchise (2019). He also worked as the offensive coordinator for the Raiders (1998-2001) and Dallas Cowboys (2012-14) and as an offensive line coach with several teams in a coaching career that stretches back to the late 1970s.

Bill Callahan also was head coach at Nebraska from 2004-07.
