Falcons hired Dan Quinn as head coach and signed him to a five-year contract.
The Falcons had their eyes on Quinn from the start of their hiring process, and Quinn reportedly preferred the Atlanta job over any other. Quinn's decision makes sense with a franchise quarterback in place. Seattle's defensive coordinator the past three seasons, 44-year-old Quinn will immediately get to work to fix one of the league's worst defenses. Kyle Shanahan has already been hired to coordinate the offense. GM Thomas Dimitroff and fellow personnel man Scott Pioli need to inject talent into the roster.
