Dan Quinn named 11th best NFL head coach

In his two seasons as Atlanta Falcons head coach, Dan Quinn has made a name for himself.

On For the Win's NFL head coach rankings released on Monday, Quinn landed the No. 11 spot.

After taking over as head coach for the 2015 football season, Quinn has a 19-13 overall record.

“Quinn deserves a ton of credit for turning around the Falcons defense late in the season, but before we can put him in the top-10, we need to see him without Kyle Shanahan, who led one of the best offenses in NFL history,” USA Today’s Steven Ruiz said.

The Falcons former offensive coordinator and current San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was ranked No. 29 on For the Win’s head coach list after after his Super Bowl run with the Falcons.

The full list of NFC head coach rankings can be read on For The Win's website.
