Former Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who currently holds the same position at the University of Alabama, reportedly underwent a successful cardiovascular procedure.
Alabama’s Twitter account released the following statement regarding Sarkisian’s status after his surgery:

Taking over for Kyle Shanahan after the Falcons’ 2016 Super Bowl run, Sarkisian wasn’t able to make the offense produce at that same elite level in 2017.
While he made strides in 2018, head coach Dan Quinn elected to replace him with Dirk Koetter in 2019. The move has yielded mixed results thus far.
Sarkisian landed on his feet working under Nick Saban at Alabama, though, and still has a promising future in coaching.
