With the Falcons firing Keith Armstrong, Steve Sarkisian and Marquand Manuel in one fell swoop, a small footnote caught the eye of many people: head coach Dan Quinn would act as the defensive coordinator for the team in 2019.
This news was met with excitement that Quinn - once a fantastic defensive coordinator for the Seahawks - could finally take over those responsibilities again. However, the flip side of this decision is one that now presents the team with a critical decision to make.
For most of last year and this year, Quinn has allowed Marquand Manuel to call the defense while he focused on the traditional responsibilities of a head coach.
