Quinn celebrates 'awesome' first year as Falcons coach
Quinn inherited a team that was coming off of two losing seasons and was in need of a major overhaul on defense. He dove into the job of assessing the talent on hand and had to determine if the remaining players were fits for the new defensive and offensive schemes he planned to install.
He was granted control of the final 53-man roster and reports directly to owner Arthur Blank.
Quinn, who celebrates his one year anniversary Tuesday, reflected on his first calendar year as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in an exclusive interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“It’s been awesome,” Quinn said. “I’ve learned, man, a lot. Where do we start with this?”
