It didn't take long for the Atlanta Falcons to find their replacement for outgoing play-caller Kyle Shanahan.

Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian is reportedly leaving Tuscaloosa for the same position in the NFL, according to Jordan Schultz of The Huffington Post. ESPN's Adam Schefter appeared to confirm the news.

Source confirms that Steve Sarkisian is all but certain to be named the #Falcons next offensive coordinator. Announcement forthcoming. — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) February 7, 2017

Sarkisian, a former head coach at Washington and USC, spent last season as an analyst on Alabama's staff and was promoted to offensive coordinator before the College Football Playoff National Championship Game after Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin parted ways.

Sarkisian will work with a wide range of weapons in Atlanta, led by reigning NFL MVP Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, the league's most prolific wideout.

Alabama promoted Mike Locksley to co-OC on Jan. 20.
