HouTXFalcon Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So, making a big assumption that the Falcons land Quinn, who does he bring along? Apparently, Bryan Cox has been like a brother to him since their two years together in NY, so he probably stays. He was on the staff with Keith Armstrong for two years in Miami, which means he is also likely retained. Kyle Shanahan's name gets tossed around a lot, but, other than rumors, I don't see any links between them along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I didn't want Rex Ryan but I didn't insult him or the people who wanted him. Been clear since late October-early November that I thought Quinn was the best candidate for what I felt sure was going to be the vacant Falcons HC job.Most people on here somehow find it necessary to run down other candidates to prop up their own guy.You don't like Quinn? that's cool...but post valid reasons instead of "I could coach that Seattle defense."Looks like you were right all along, Gritz. I really want Quinn too. I'm just kind of tired of the 4-3, and I want a coach who is aggressive on defense. My thing is, is he a coach like Bowles that puts his players in a position to do well, or is he a coach who forces players into schemes. I am also interested in how he would approach the off season. Bring in some pass rushers here Quinn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Not even that. Just think when you have all star players its easier to look good as opposed to taking average to below average guys and putting them into position to make plays and look like all stars.We dont even have 1 all star on defense so his work would be cut out for him.Ummm Trufant?

joshclein Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I couldn't be happier if we could actually land Quinn. He is perfect for this team. Considering he's a defensive genius, he would be thrilled with our accelerated offense with a pro bowl quarterback and wide receiver. This way, he can focus on shoring up our disaster of a defense and not have to worry about the offense, depending on who he brings in at OC. DONT LET THIS GUY GET AWAY, ARTHUR.

WOR Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well so far every coach weve interviewed has given the Falcons a "first right of refusal" type thing once theyve gotten a job offer. If Quinn is our guy, and he gives us that call, all is good. Perhaps the Falcons really ARE the #1 job on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supes™ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm all in for Quinn.I was a Rex man. Now I'm a Quinn fan. Looks like he's worth waiting for and if he does land the job, I'm cooking my friend Gritz a special BBQ dinner for calling it months ago.

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The anti-Quinn people want it both ways apparently. It's hilarious.With some of you Quinn can't win. You'll skew it however you can.One minute it's:"Well, those weren't Quinn's players or defense. That defense was built by Gus Bradley. He should get all the credit."Next minute it's:"The fact that Gus Bradley has failed miserably in Jacksonville is relevant to Dan Quinn."Shifting logic to make some type of obscure point.I can't think of a single advocate of Dan Quinn on this board or anywhere else for that matter who would put forth the supposition that Seattle doesn't have excellent talent on that defensive unit. But many of you act like that defense is somehow on autopilot and Quinn is on the sidelines doing crossword puzzles and having internet chats while the game is going on.It shows a real lack of understanding about how important coordinators are in the NFL.You should probably point out that Gus Bradley hasnt been miserable in Jacksonville. Their pass rush was great this year with marginal talent. Funny how that works.As for the "vanilla scheme" thing people are saying.....yes and no. Quinn (and Carroll) run a defense that has been around for 40 years. But they do different things with it underneath. They do a lot of back end cover 3 with front line corners playing man, both bail and press. They also do a ton with their LBs. And they've developed players that others didn't want. That's what is most important, IMO. Put your personnel to good use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The fact that Gus Bradley has failed miserably in Jacksonville is relevant to Dan Quinn. I know you don't want that to be true, but it is. Seattle has breathtaking secondary talent, and it allows them to do things that Atlanta simply won't be able to do.Ahhh but how has Seattle handled LOSING that breathtaking talent? Haven't they cycled through half a dozen CBs opposite Sherman? And they've always maintained a high level of play. The only thing that knocked the Seahawks defense back a bit was the temporary loss of Bobby Wagner this year. Since he returned, they've been ridiculous. We certainly don't have a Bobby Wagner......but Bobby Wagners are relatively easy to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 What I like is Quinn looks like maybe he could be a player/coach - looks like he could play some middle linebacker for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellectually Honest Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I don't understand why this is used as a knock against Quinn. Two of the best players on the defense (Sherman and Chancellor) were 5th rounders. Two significant pieces of the front seven (Avril and Bennett) were recent FA acquisitions that have had more of an impact than maybe any free agent signed by the Falcons on the defensive side of the ball. It's not like Quinn woke up one day with a roster full of all-pros that didn't need to be developed and put in a position to be successful.Seems to me we have been running a very complex system with little talent for several years and the defense is garbage. Simplifying and actually having someone to locate and develop talent seems like exactly what I would want.It's not a knock nor is it a plus. Also just because 5th rounders did well means what? If there is a consistent observation in how the Seattle D is run, then I don't see how Quinn can take the credit since it was a good D before he got there AND those players were hitting their prime.As far as the complex system, from the videos of NFL players interviewed that played against Seattle, they said it's not. That the scheme is vanilla and repetitive.Tell me how Quinn improved their D in any significant sense.

It is also not just Quinn. We are seeing coordinators get hyped and yet the players that they have tend to be all pro or future hall of famers.That is why for me Bowles and Rex seem to be top of the class because they were able to do more with less.I don't see that with Gase or Quinn. Gase has one of the best QBs ever, if not the best, and Quinn is working with Pro Bowl or near Pro Bowl talent galore. It is not really an accurate assessment since these players had success BEFORE they had those coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
