Falcons Fire All Three Coordinators

The Atlanta Falcons have fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, the team announced Monday.

Along with Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong have also parted ways with the team.

Coach Dan Quinn called the moves "difficult decisions."

"We know we have a group of players here we are excited about and in order for us to consistently play true to our identity in all three phases we thought we needed some changes," Quinn said.

Among the coaching changes in Atlanta, Quinn will assume the role of defensive coordinator.

The Falcons beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 34–32 Sunday, finishing the season 7–9.
