Growing up in the state of New Jersey, Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn was able to witness the New York Giants’ dominating defenses of the 1980’s.
“It was probably at that point, growing up there, that my first love of football began,” Quinn told the NY Post. “For me, it was watching the New York Giants growing up, with Bill Parcells and Lawrence Taylor and that whole crew coming up through the ’80s. And then as I moved on to college, I thought I’d want to coach for sure.”
Quinn grew up in Morristown, New Jersey and admits he learned a lot from that time in his life.
