The Atlanta Falcons announced the hiring of Joe Danna as defensive backs coach and the promotion of Glenn Thomas from offensive assistant to quarterbacks coach.

Danna spent the last two seasons as an assistant defensive backs coach with the Miami Dolphins, coaching under Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.
