The Washington Commanders officially announced their coaching staff Thursday – and included a surprising addition from an NFC foe.

Washington hired Sarah Hogan, previously the Atlanta Falcons’ director of coaching operations, to be its coaching chief of staff under Dan Quinn.

Hogan spent nearly nine years with the Falcons, first joining the organization in May 2015 – some three months after Quinn was hired as head coach.

She started as a scouting administration coordinator before transitioning into the coordinator of head coach operations less than a year later, forming a close relationship with Quinn.

Now, Hogan joins Quinn once more – and the move surely comes as a shock to new Falcons head coach Raheem Morris, who gave impromptu praise to Hogan.
