There was plenty of intrigue about who the Falcons were going to bring in as the next offensive coordinator. It was the third time Dan Quinn had to select a new offensive coordinator during his tenure. The decision to hire Kyle Shanahan worked wonders, as the offense produced historical numbers. Taking a gamble on Steve Sarkisian proved to be a largely frustrating two-year experience.
Quinn had seen enough to justify moving on from Sarkisian, which created some buzz around the team. After taking a week to assess the viable options, Dirk Koetter was their choice as the man to get the Falcons back to their potent ways.
