NFL coaching carousel: Fired coaches the Falcons could look into

Black Monday is the term used for the day after the NFL season when team owners and general managers move on from their coaching staffs. In the same way popular shopping day Black Friday has leaked into Thanksgiving, some coaches are fired a few hours after they coach their last game.

The day is early but we have a lot of big names that could resurface in Atlanta’s expected retooled coaching staff.

Dirk Koetter was fired on Sunday after three years as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach. He’s a very good offensive coordinator but probably not a good fit with Quinn’s preferred offensive scheme and the current personnel.
