The Atlanta Falcons have hired Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach, following two consecutive eight-win seasons under Raheem Morris. Stefanski, who has 20 years of NFL experience, faces challenges regarding quarterback selection with Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix. Analysts point to potential issues stemming from a lack of reliable quarterback play during Stefanski's tenure with the Cleveland Browns, where he finished with a 45-56 record. The success of the Falcons in 2026 will depend heavily on Stefanski's ability to manage quarterback performance effectively.
