Shift explains why Derrick Ansley’s lack of experience may put him at a disadvantage when it comes to potentially becoming the next Defensive Coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons.

The Atlanta Falcons have interviewed former Cincinnati Bengals assistant Lou Anarumo and Green Bay Packers passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley.

Thus far, the Falcons have been connected to one name for their defensive coordinator opening. According to a report from NFL Network’s Colleen Wolfe, the team is set to interview former Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo sometime this week.

The Atlanta Falcons announced Friday they interviewed former San Francisco defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Pittsburgh Steelers secondary coach Grady Brown as the team continued its search for a defensive coordinator.

Pittsburgh secondary coach Grady Brown interviewed for the Falcons’ vacant defensive coordinator Friday. He became the fifth person to be interviewed by the Falcons since Jimmy Lake was fired Saturday.

The Falcons completed an interview with Packers defensive passing game coordinator Derrick Ansley for their open defensive coordinator position, the organization announced Thursday.
