Atlanta Falcons decide to release coach Dan Reeves

FLOWERY BRANCH , GEORGIA

Reeves has been a head coach for three NFL teams -- the Denver Broncos (1988-1992), the New York Giants (1993-1996) and the Falcons (1997-2003). Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, who is Reeves' son-in-law and has worked as an assistant since 1988, said Reeves is being used as a fall guy.

"If anybody thinks [the Falcons' poor record] is one guy's deal, then they're sadly mistaken," DeCamillis said. "It takes drafting, it takes personnel, it takes coaching, it takes players to play [the way they're] supposed to play."
