FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons hired veteran offensive line coach Bill Callahan on Tuesday, making one of the NFL's most-experienced coaches the first offensive assistant added to new coach Kevin Stefanski’s staff.
The addition of Callahan, 69, comes one day after the team announced defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich will return.
Callahan was the Tennessee Titans' offensive line coach the past two years, including time working for his son, Brian Callahan, who was fired as coach on Oct. 14.
Bill Callahan has coached 48 years in college and the NFL. He has had 14 offensive linemen earn 35 Pro Bowl selections in his 27 years in the NFL. Callahan coached the Cleveland Browns' offensive line for four years (2020-23) before his time with Tennessee.
Callahan was Nebraska's head coach from 2004-07 and the Oakland Raiders' head coach from 2002-03 as well as time as interim head coach with Washington in 2019.
Callahan also coached the offensive lines for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets.
Stefanski was hired on Saturday night as the replacement for Raheem Morris, who was fired following an 8-9 finish in his second season. New Falcons president of football Matt Ryan, who also holds most of the Falcons’ major passing records, is continuing his search to replace fired general manager Terry Fontenot.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A man killed four children in a machete attack inside a nursery school in the Ugandan capital of Kampala on Thursday, police said.
The man gained access to the Gaba Early Childhood Development Program in Kampala by disguising himself as a parent, the Daily Monitor newspaper reported. He first entered the school offices, where he briefly engaged the administrator in charge, then stepped outside, locked the gate and began attacking the children, the report said.
The attacker “brutally stabbed and killed four juveniles,” police said in a statement.
Video footage aired by local broadcaster NTV showed some parents weeping. Police fired in the air to disperse an angry crowd that gathered near the school, apparently trying to lynch the suspect.
The suspect later was taken into custody, police spokesman Kituuma Rusoke told The Associated Press. A motive for the attack is unknown, he said. Such attacks on children are rare in Kampala, a city of roughly 3 million people.
