The Atlanta Falcons continue to add to incoming head coach Raheem Morris‘ staff.
The team confirmed this evening the hiring of Ike Hilliard as the Falcons’ new wide receiver’s coach. He is a new hire and this is his first stint as a coach in the NFL. He originally coached the Auburn University Tigers wide receivers in 2022. He later became the team’s interim co-offensive coordinator after the departure of then-head coach Bryan Harsin. Hilliard himself was an All-American wide receiver with the University of Florida in the mid ’90’s
The Falcons are hiring Kevin Koger away from the Chargers to be their new tight end coach, per source. A key hire for Raheem Morris and Zac Robinson as they try and maximize Kyle Pitts in the new Atlanta offense.
