The Real Tony G. Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I've been a fan since 98 so idk what the feeling was when we first brought Reeves in or anyone before him, but I think Quinn is the best hire we've made in my lifetime as a fan.Mora Jr.- I remember seeing him in San Francisco thinking he would be a great HC and being excited when he was coming here.Petrino- the guy is worse than the sweat from under your gooch but I thought he was gonna be good at the time.Smith- I had the same thought of "who?" when we first hired him but I was just glad he wasn't Parcells or one of his cronies.EDIT: I meant at the time they were hired.

Bobby.Digital Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 No way to tell as of right now but I'll say I'm super confident in Quinn. More so than anyone else we've hired just for the fact that he has an amazing way to connect with players, his defensive philosophys, and shouting out Tupac on his bday. We're really lucky to have him as a HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkOffFalcohol Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I don't understand why people ask questions that clearly no one knows. We have yet to plsy a single game. you know that, we know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likeriver Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Idk how it was with the other coaches, but there are at least some quantifiable reasons that Quinn could be a better coach and Smitty was. The most obvious reason is that he's revamped the offseason training process, including a fast paced training style, loud music, and a large staff to consistently motivate players to keep getting stronger and better. All of these improvements could easily translate to better performance on the field. That, in itself, could completely change the quality of this team. All I'm saying is that, even though we can't evaluate how good a coach Quinn will be until we seem him on the field, there is articulable reason for thinking he will be better.

JayOzOne Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Not yet. Right now, Smitty is still the best hire followed closely by Dan Reeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wleggett Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Too early to say. I would say in terms of expectations based on the hire alone it may be the highest of all those mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Not old enough to know how high profile a lot of the Falcon's HC's were when first getting signed, but it's definitely a different feeling from the last few. Quinn was widely considered the best HC candidate out there this offseason, and we hung on all the way through for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu 7 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 As far as hype goes it was the same way with Mora but there was more optimism because of Vick.I think Reeves was a better hire because he brought legitimacy to the Falcons when he was hired.

Done.not many will read the OP with a title involving a question that can't be answeredThe question was valid. I didn't ask if he's the best coach we've ever had. That's impossible to answer. What I asked is like asking if Vic Beasley is the best pass rushing prospect we've ever drafted compared to Bruce, Anderson, etc. coming in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hate to say it, but if we're only looking at outlook from the date of hire, Petrino looked pretty **** good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanadonis Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Seeing how he has already done more for the roster in 1 year than Mora, Smith and Petrino couldn't do in 10 plus years says he is the best hire in history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefall Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hate to say it, but if we're only looking at outlook from the date of hire, Petrino looked pretty **** good.Yup. Petrino was probably the best hire going by OP criteria. Someone who jump from the collegian rank to the NFL is usually a big deal(Kelly, Carroll, Harbaugh, Spurrier, etc...). Coordinators to HC are dime a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
