Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
Ben Johnson didn’t want to be a head coach, he’s choosing to stay in his current job as OC. That’s on him, not us.
MacDonald went with Seattle, can anyone blame him? They’ve been a well run franchise for years now and are in a much better position to win now. They also have a rocking stadium and fan base and gorgeous facilities. They also gave him a 6 year deal, perhaps that was more than we were willing to offer. Back up and look big picture, Seattle is a great job. In the end you can’t always get what you want. Often in life you’re forced into other options and it’s totally out of your control but you make it work anyway. |

Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
That goes for us or Peters. But at the end of the day I feel confident that Peters did exactly what he was supposed to do, whether it was his original plan or not. Now lets go rebuild the roster with all the tools we have right now. Set our sights on the future, a new stadium, God willing a new name, a re-energized fan base, and most importantly some fuckin W’s. It took 25 years for Snyder to burn it to the ground. It will not take 25 years to build it back but it probably won’t take one offseason either. |

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
It will take a lot from Dairy Queen to erase the memory of the 28-3 meltdown in his lone SB appearance. Ugh. Hope it’s better this time around. Just disappointing but not much to choose from.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
I'm indifferent. Don't hate it, don't love it. Would have rather not had a retread but I get why they hired him. He's got HC experience and knows how to run a team. Time to move forward.

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
That SB w/ the Falcons was one of the worst choke jobs I have ever seen. But at least he got a team there.
The last time we saw his defense they were getting their shit pushed in by Green Bay. This is such a yawn hire. But do I think this is an upgrade from Ron? Idk. Probably. He'll have less to deal with and can just focus on the team. Let's see who he hires as an OC. |

Re: Our New Head Coach - Dan Quinn
On its' face not a great cause for optimism - IIRC 28-3 wasn't the only time those Falcons teams blew big leads under Dan Quinn.
He's walking into a much worse situation here than with the Falcons too - he already had a prime Matt Ryan when he took that job. As others have said it really depends how he fills out his coaching staff. If they emphasize he's needed more for his leadership roles and he gets a couple young stud coordinators to call plays I'd be happy. But as of now it's wait and see - this looks like they went to their fall-back choice because BJ turned them down.

@JPFinlayNBCS
Text from AFC Coach after Rivera was fired: "Quinn is THE best head coach candidate out there. Will not find a more authentic leader of men with a battle plan for victory. Period...Leader, organized, vision, communicator, ball coach." |

@NickiJhabvala
Possible DC candidates with Quinn: *Joe Whitt Jr., Cowboys pass game coordinator *Joe Cullen, Chiefs D-line coach Chiefs d-line was lights out against the Ravens. Would be great hire IMO.
