Completing an unusual swap of offensive coordinators, the Falcons hired Dirk Koetter from Jacksonville to replace Mike Mularkey only four days after the Jaguars introduced Mularkey as their new coach.
The Falcons hired Koetter despite the Jaguars ranking last in the league in total offense and yards passing in 2011.

Falcons coach Mike Smith said Koetter will bring "a fresh set of ideas to our offense."
Full-time refs?
Aiming to ensure NFL rules are enforced the same way from game to game, the league will consider making about 10 officials full-time employees next season.
As of now, all game officials are part-time employees.
Responding to a question about consistency in officiating while speaking to a group of about 75 fans before Sunday’s playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the proposal would bring a group of officials to the league offices in New York to help review game films and evaluate the calls.
They then would be spread out among the crews at games.
