Fans react: Steve Sarkisian expected to return as Falcons’ OC in 2018
Atlanta Falcons fans weren’t happy when hearing the report that Steve Sarkisian is expected to return to his role as Falcons offensive coordinator for the 2018 season.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that coach Dan Quinn has full confidence in Sarkisian and will return next season.
Clearing up one lingering question post-2017 (if it's even a question): #Falcons OC Steve Sarkisian is expected to return for 2018 with full confidence of coach Dan Quinn and his staff.

The Falcons finished the season 10-6— third in the NFC South— and the League’s eighth-best offense, averaging 364.8 yards per game. The Falcons also struggled in the red zone, scoring a touchdown on half of their trips inside the 20-yard line.
Here’s how NFL and Falcons fans took the news:
The falcons are 100% better off using the AskMadden button than having Sark call the plays. That’s not even an exaggeration.

I’m not saying he’s the best thing to ever happen. I’m not a real big fan of him either. I’m just saying give him a chance. If it doesn’t work out, I say they promote from within the organization. Seemed to have worked well when promoting Marquand Manuel to DC.

Everyone wanted Shanahan gone after his first year. Hoping to see Sark have a good second year https://t.co/SXlb3pvl6I
