FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons have finalized their 2026 coaching staff, the first assembled by head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Stefanski, who joined the Falcons on January 17, has been plenty busy in his short time with the team. He's participated in free agency and draft meetings, interviewed prospects at the NFL Combine and put together his coaching staff.
Defensive quality control coach Troy Kruchten was the final hire on Sunday afternoon, bringing the total number of coaches to 23. Stefanski retained several coaches from the team's staff in 2025, including defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and running backs coach Michael Pitre. He also made key external hires to his group, including offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and offensive line coach Bill Callahan.
In addition to the 23 coaches, the Falcons also have a coaching operations staff of three that assists in the day-to-day operations of the entire group. Bob Quinn is senior advisor to the head coach, Madison McDoulett is Manager of Coaching Administration and Family Services and Jacqueline Roberts is manager of coaching operations.
