The Atlanta Falcons announced three new hires and three returning assistant coaches on Monday.

The newcomers are special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman, wide receivers coach Robert Prince and Bob Quinn, a former Detroit Lions general manager who will serve as a senior advisor to new head coach Kevin Stefanski.

The Falcons are retaining secondary coach Justin Hood, defensive line coach Nate Ollie and tight ends coach Kevin Koger.

Aukerman, 49, has been coaching in the NFL since 2010 and has been the special teams coordinator for the Miami Dolphins (2025) and Tennessee Titans (2018-23).

Prince, 60, began his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant in Atlanta in 2004. He also spent last season with the Dolphins after coaching the wideouts with the Dallas Cowboys (2022-24), Houston Texans (2021) and Detroit Lions (2014-20).

Quinn, 49, spent the last five seasons in Cleveland with Stefanski as the team’s senior personnel/coaching executive (2022-25) and senior consultant to the club’s football operations (2021). He was the GM for the Lions from 2016-20 after working with the New England Patriots in multiple positions for 16 seasons, finishing as director of pro scouting from 2012-15.
