Atlanta firing Dan Quinn

[HeavyBarrel]

He never learned from their SB loss, time and time again ATL would have a sizable lead late in the game and they would still be snapping the ball with 18 seconds left on the play clock with the game clock running.....

He also helped engineer a SB winning defense. You don't throw the baby out with the bathwater....well usually you don't

He also blew a 25 point lead in a Super Bowl.

Name one player on this defense as talented as the Legion of Boom.

Pretty odd to think how close we are to 0-5.

Luckily we play in the worst division in football history

That's why you draft. You act as though the Cowboys have some restriction that forces them to only have these current players on defense.

Some of you guys want to hire the guy who gave up a 19 point lead to us, a 14 point lead to Seattle,
a 17 point lead to Chicago.... you want that guy to coach the defense... lol

Some guys are better coordinators than they are head coaches

You seem to want to make a change for the sake of making a change.
A head coach is fired, so you now want him on your staff.

Now, if you mean to possibly interview the man after the season, then my mistake.

Dan Quinn w/ a lead.....and it starts to slip away

I never said anything about making changes. I'm merely pointing out that Dan Quinn has a history of being a successful defensive coordinator. Whether we hire him or not isn't even something that is being considered.

Quinn I could see....

I dropped a WOW at Dimitroff.

If Jerry has any smarts at all he steps down as GM and hires him immediately.

Then again, that could be along the lines of the ...anyone other than Garrett theory....which hasnt gone all that well.

You're right...but you have a window in this league...unless of course you own the team and can manage to successfully sell hope every year while you try to prove you're a "football guy."

 

[Cmac]

.....he'll get a job here all of sudden. JJ loves bad coaching decisions or prefers on-the-job trainees.

 

[lukin2006]

I mean they still had a good season the very next year. Made it to the divisional round and easily could have beaten Philly. Last season started his demise. Now they are rock bottom and could pick number 1.

But not only Quinn. Matt Ryan as well. He is nowhere what he used to be. Well, except against us, lol

We turned NY's QB into a Hall of Famer...

 

[strollinruss]

What do know? A GM held responsible for a steaming pile. Accountability does actually exist somewhere in the world.

They fired the one in Houston too.... oh wait.

 

[DallasinWV]

We're not that far away from 4-1 or even 5-0.

True, if the offense didn't keep giving "gifts" to the other team!!

 

[KMY_Amber]

can't believe he lasted this long, to be honest....

 

[Ranching]

True, if the offense didn't keep giving "gifts" to the other team!!

Or if we didn't have the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL! Jeez

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

We turned NY's QB into a Hall of Famer...

He had no touchdowns, no interceptions and a fumble...he was bad.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Maybe he can be our DC

I saw enough of his Atlanta defense for years. No thanks.

The third post of the thread considered it. Start there and read on.

Beginning of the end for him was the Super Bowl loss to New England.

This, not been the same since that loss.
