JG2008 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It's not just Sark....Quinn has some fatal flaws that will keep this team from its ultimate goal Quinn is a good solid coach , no question there but all to often he has demonstrated some severe lapses in common sense that appear to be built into his coaching DNA and not just new head coaching "mistakes" that he corrects and learns from. As time rolls on here It looks like Quinn is not the head coach that we hoped he was and we are going to be stuck in Falcons purgatory for another umpteen years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamMills51 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Quinn owns up and does call out the plays he saw that were bad (i.e. the jet sweep). Maybe it's cause we've always had Rivera who never blames the coaching staff or play-calling, but I thought that was impressive. I'd trade coaches anytime.

FalconsIn2012 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Quinn is great and we are lucky to have him. No coach is perfect...but he has done a wonderful roster & culture turnover in just 2 years. Defense gets better each year...the offense is just working through a tough spot.

A Dog Named Brian Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 He gets a pass so far in my book. The man took us to the freaking Super Bowl his second year at the helm. I know it's a "Win Now" league, but to deny what he's done so far in his short tenure here is dangerously naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdsnflight Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 A former Superbowl winning coach once said..." the reason (attribute) a coach gets hired, is the same reason he'll be fired". I did not say Quinn will/deserves to be fired. Just made me think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfishtom Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 The last 3 games have been gruesome but lets see if we can bounce back. The NFL of today is a bunch of inconsistent teams. We are not out of it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awfully noble of him to call out and plays after the fact. He's the head coach, he heard the calls and can't veto them if he chooses. Says a lot about him to do nothing in the moment, but call it out after the fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you know.....during the actual game in real time Quinn could actually recognize bad playcalling and tell Sark and Ryan to run something else If he had done that last year in 4th qtr with Shannahan we would have won SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold4425 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Quinn is the right guy for the Falcons BUT we must understand this is his first HC job college or Pro so it is like On the job training. Blank gave him a lot of power and like most it depends on how good the people around you are that make you shine. Last year we had the perfect storm but Shanny's ego got in our way to finish the deal and Quinn didn't stop it. Surprising after he went through that with Carroll. I think it was not so wise to think you could start so many rookies into the mix and cut your vets and it was not so wise to release your Staff and put inexperienced Coaches at key positions but maybe it will all work out?

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 IMO Quinns flaws are his buddy/buddy attitude and how he chooses his players/coaches. This staff is constantly being out coached and no adjustments are made. We need offensive masterminds and proven coaches not his friends being put in positions they have no experience with. We also need to get players based on skill sets not measurebles. In 3 years Quinn has only brought in 3 quality players (Beasley, Neal, Jones) Our front 4 can't get the pressure we need, and our DEs arent getting there should've brought back Freeney or gave him a 3 year deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could argue that you prefer size over athleticism up front, but you really can't argue he his brought in the right guys for his scheme. I can see this being the defense we thought he would bring as early as later this year. It may not even take one more draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonDeion Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Despite all the misuse of this team, Quinn put together the most talented roster in the league. When has anyone EVER said that about the Falcons? Quinn has flaws as a coach sure. But as a talent evaluator he’s been OUTSTANDING. This team will be competitive as long as he and Dimi keep stocking the talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also went outside the building and hired Sark, whom he'd never worked with, for better or for worse instead of hiring one of his buddies already in the system as OC. I'd say if Quinn has shown anything, it's willingness to change what needs to be changed quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When up 28-3 with 17 minutes left in SB and his lack of common sense at turning points in games has reared its ugly head way too many times this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s amazing how much people give up on the Falcons. DQ is an amazing coach. I expect a turnaround dude, what’s up with yalls offense? Are they intentionally trying to kill Cam?

Sark was hanging out with DQ last year if you are unaware and Sark has only called 1 game in the last 3 years. Offense didn't need to b changed quickly nor did Defense. We were 1 FG away from the SB. He tore down the entire coaching staff when we should've promoted within, there's no excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxygencube Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hahah.. some of these posts are so laughable. Quinn led us to one play away from a super bowl trophy and he has a 'fatal fall'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshine Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The players play the game, not the coaches. Right now this team is low energy, and lacks player leadeship. I guess the spoiled millionaires want to drive yet another decent coach out of town. Maybe they can kneel some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
