As Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn was doing his usual post season evaluations, he decided to make a change in all three phases of his football team. In addition to replacing both Steve Sarkisian and Marquand Manuel, Keith Armstrong, who has been the Falcons special teams coordinator for a decade, was also let go.
Insert Redskins special teams coordinator Ben Kotwica. Not only did Kotwica come highly recommended having done an excellent job of turning around the Redskins special teams, but he is also a former United States Military Academy football letterman and decorated officer.
This hire was very calculated by Quinn.
