While stating his Atlanta Falcons must “own” their Super Bowl mistakes, coach Dan Quinn had nothing but praise Wednesday for his former offensive coordinator, Kyle Shanahan, now the 49ers coach.
Said Quinn: “I never like to see anybody leave the staff. But what I can appreciate is a guy taking a risk, to say, ‘Hey, I want to give this a shot and go battle for it.’ I’m excited for him and the opportunity he has there.”
Shanahan brings with him widespread, offensive fortitude, Quinn said.
“He is one of the few coaches that has a full understanding: run game, offensive line, quarterback play, receiver play,” Quinn added.
