Dan Quinn will need someone else to with clock management and replays, according to a report.

Kyle Flood, who the Falcons recently named to the new position, will reportedly leave to coach the offensive line at Alabama. Flood served as Atlanta's assistant offensive line coach last season.

The Crimson Tide have suffered through some turmoil on their staff since losing in the College Football Playoff national championship game to Clemson. Nick Saban re-hired former Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, who was dismissed by Atlanta Dec. 31.
