Falcons add new football assistant coach....

The Falcons have a new linebackers coach...Clark Lea, who spent the last 3 years coaching LBs at UCLA.  He breaks our string of getting coaches from I-AA Eastern colleges, though he went to Vanderbilt, which at least means he had to do his own homework.

Obviously, we welcome him to the Falcons.  I do believe Coach Clawson has done a good job with this coaching staff and that his hires have been good coaches who have recruited well and gotten players to improve, though that is still a work in progress.  And the BCS pedigree, rightly or wrongly, is likely to make some people feel more at east with him.

He replaces some guy we used to have.
