The age of COVID-19 is bringing up topics we rarely consider as a matter of course for our favorite NFL team. For example, it wouldn’t generally occur to me to wonder who would take over at head coach if Dan Quinn had to miss time, both because there’s someone with the title “assistant head coach” and because DQ’s been on the sideline every game without fail in his Falcons tenure.
The answer, somewhat obviously, is Jeff Ulbrich. The only reason this is newsworthy is because DQ confirmed it would happen if Quinn ended up missing multiple weeks due to COVID-19, because unfortunately that’s a legitimate possibility in 2020.
