College: Brian VanGorder has accepted the defensive coordinator job at Auburn University.

[Paulitik]

It's a good first step. Get Spags.

[bulldozer]

Yes. Thank you. BVG gone and MM will not be resigned. Now we can get some coordinators in here before its too late

[atljbo]

MIKE NOLAN PLEASE.. You know him from the Ravens

[The Don™]

This seriously came out of nowhere it seems. Did NOT see this coming. I just hope this means that MM is gone too.

I really wonder why BVG left. Couldn't handle the pro game? Frustrated with Smith's philosophy of being a conservative defense? Many questions..

[Jimusmc]

MM better still be gone or im done til he is.

[JOEinPHX]

BVG was not in any way forced out by the Falcons. He's been working on a move for some time - getting back to the college game became a priority for him over the course of this last season.

[Toronto_Dirty_Bird]

At least change is happening. Spags would be nice here, I just want our front 4 to finally get pressure on the QB CONSISTENTLY

[atljbo]

BVG fits the college game better

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKK​KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

[ggp]

WOW! I did not see that coming. I guess BVG likes his long term future in college. To be honest, I think he is priming his career for a college HC job. Two successful seasons at Auburn and he will be a prime candidate for several schools. I wish him luck. I think he did a good job with the roster he had to work with.
