We’re not in the halls of Flowery Branch when Dan Quinn is interacting with coaches, so it’s not easy to say what might prompt certain firings this offseason. With Steve Sarkisian, Marquand Manuel and Keith Armstrong, at least, you knew it was on-field performance, the desire for a fresh perspective, or both. With Wade Harman, whose firing Vaughn McClure at ESPN reported last night, the motive is harder to understand.
Harman arrived in Atlanta back in 2014 as an assistant to offensive line coach Mike Tice, who was out after one year with the Falcons.
