    Bryan Cox Sr. believes combine incident led to his firing by Falcons

    Former Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox believes his firing was not performance-related and that he was dismissed for an off-the-field incident, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Cox, who was with the Falcons for three seasons, believes he was fired for shoving a low-ranking scout from the Arizona Cardinals at the scouting combine in 2015, according to The Charlotte Observer.

    “You go from your unit playing really well in the Super Bowl and sacking the quarterback five times and having (nine) quarterback hits … and (three) days later you get fired,” Cox said this week during a phone interview with Joe Person of the Observer. “I wasn’t given an answer to why I was fired. I was left to go back and kind of play stuff over.

    “And the only thing I can come up with is the combine incident that kind of led to it.”

    Cox was fired along with former defensive coordinator Richard Smith. However, defensive backs coach Marquand Manuel, who also had an incident at the 2016 combine, was promoted to defensive coordinator.

    “I don’t know why I was fired,” Cox said. “Wasn’t given an answer. It doesn’t even much matter anymore. You move on. I ain’t got no hard feelings. I’ve got people in that building I love. I’ve got people in that building I love a little less.”
