The Facts:
The Falcons announced former Vikings HC Mike Tice will be joining head coach Mike Smith’s staff for the 2014 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Tice was out of the league in 2013 after leaving his post as the Bears’ offensive coordinator as Chicago cleaned out their coaching staff with the arrival of new head coach Marc Trestman. He was the offensive line coach in Chicago for two years before moving to the coordinator job and worked with Smith and Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter in Jacksonville before that. As PFT notes, the Falcons have made no secret of their intention to improve on the offensive line this offseason. Firing position coaches Pat Hill and Paul Dunn was followed by owner Arthur Blank’s vow to put together a tougher team before the start of next season, which makes it easy for Tice to know what he needs to do once he’s on the job.
