The Atlanta Falcons named Raheem Morris the 19th head coach in franchise history on Thursday night and the team is already looking to fill out the rest of the coaching staff.
Rams quarterbacks coach/passing-game coordinator Zac Robinson is someone Atlanta is reportedly interested in as an offensive coordinator. Another name was linked to the team on Friday.
According to ESPN’s Todd Archer, the Falcons have requested permission to speak with Cowboys defensive line coach Aden Durde.
Durde’s football journey is unique, having grown up in London. He played in NFL Europe before joining practice squads in Carolina and KC. He helped train players, like Efe Obada, through NFLUK. He was the DC for the London Warriors.

Durde has spent the last three seasons as the Cowboys defensive line coach and spent three years in Atlanta from 2018-2020 as a quality control coach and linebackers coach.
The 44-year-old also spent one year as a Falcons coaching intern in 2016 during the team’s Super Bowl run. According to Archer, both the Rams and Packers are showing interest in Durde.
