Steve Sarkisian may not be that familiar to Falcons fans. But he is to Dan Quinn. And Quinn had a suspicion this day may come.
From the start of his coaching career, Sarkisian gained a reputation as an innovative offensive coach. Sarkisian spent several years in the early 2000s working at University of Southern California. During that time, he helped coach some of the most prolific offenses in college football history, filling many roles from quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator to assistant head coach during the 2001-2003 and 2005-08 seasons under Pete Carroll. Carroll is another coach Quinn calls among his most respected in the business.
