Sources have confirmed to CSTV that newly hired South Carolina defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder is likely to leave Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks and return to the NFL as the defensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons. Van Gorder, who joined the USC staff just four weeks ago, is close with new Falcons head coach Mike Smith, whom he worked with on the Jacksonville Jaguars' staff. Van Gorder had previously been the defensive coordinator with the University of Georgia, the head coach at Georgia Southern and linebackers' coach with the Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons.
