Dan Quinn became the 16th head coach for the Atlanta Falcons after spending the last two seasons as the defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks. During his time as coordinator, Quinn helped polish a top defensive unit as the Seahawks took over the league allowing 270.4 yards per game, 15.2 points per game and 178.8 passing yards per game.
Quinn will face off against Chip Kelly’s up-tempo offense on Monday for the regular season kickoff and looked ahead to the game in a conference call on Thursday afternoon.
“You know, as we went through the whole offseason, we know there are certain weeks that some teams run more up-tempo than others and that’s something you really have to prepare for,” Quinn said.
