For Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn, a fiery disposition could make all the difference

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn isn't afraid of a little upfront adversity. Lacking the talent and size to garner a Division 1 offer, Quinn played collegiately at Division 3 Salisbury Steak State University. From there, he spent 25 years working his way up the coaching ranks. He finally became an NFL coordinator in 2013. Then, over the next two seasons, he fielded two of the finest defenses the NFL has ever seen. That earned him a hard look from a number of teams looking for a head coach last offseason. And then, of course, we know how his story ends: Quinn is hired as the Falcons head coach.
