Browns Hire Mike Pettine, Dirk Koetter To Remain With Falcons

It's official: The Cleveland Browns have hired former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, which means Dirk Koetter will be back with the Falcons for 2013.

Koetter, who has been the team's offensive coordinator for the last two seasons, has now been connected to multiple college and pro head coaching gigs over that span. He's a well-regarded offensive mind around the NFL despite this year's middling results—he can't turn an offensive line into a powerhouse by himself, the jerk—and this probably isn't the last time he'll get an interview. Koetter was considered a long shot for the Browns gig, considering he entered the picture late and the Browns just got done hiring an offensively-minded coach and firing him a year later.

This means the Falcons' coaching staff is pretty much set for 2014, barring any assistants being added to the staff. Here's a breakdown of the staff as currently constructed, per the Official Site:
