When news broke that the Atlanta Falcons were reportedly set to hire Dean Pees as their defensive coordinator, joining the staff of head coach Arthur Smith, we asked the question: why the Tennessee Titans, a team looking for one to bring it back?
Well, according to John Glennon of Broadway Sports, apparently this has happened. Glennon reports that Titans head coach Mike Vrabel has indeed contacted Pees about a potential return to his former position as the Titans’ defensive coordinator.
However, it appears Pees, who retired after the 2019 campaign and two seasons under Vrabel, opted for the job with the Falcons instead.
Why Pees decided to go to Atlanta instead of Tennessee is unclear. Glennon speculates that perhaps the veteran defensive coordinator wanted a fresh start elsewhere.
Before this news came to light, Vrabel and the Titans were heading for a situation where they were reportedly criticized for letting Pees travel to Atlanta as they searched for a defensive coordinator themselves.
But now it looks like Pees has made the decision to join Smith in Atlanta even with the possibility of returning to his old job in Nashville.
