Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports
The Atlanta Falcons will begin replacing some of their outgoing coaches by naming former defensive tackle Bryant Young their new defensive line coach, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.
Young played from 1994-2007 with the San Francisco 49ers and has spent time working with the Falcons' D-line ahead of this past season, McClure reports.
The Falcons fired defensive line coach Bryan Cox and parted ways with defensive coordinator Richard Smith after their Super Bowl LI loss.
The team is reportedly considering promoting secondary coach Marquand Manuel to defensive coordinator.
