The Atlanta Falcons are facing the Green Bay Packers in the 2017 NFC title game, but they are reportedly already considering a future without Kyle Shanahan. FOX Sports NFL reporter Jay Glazer said on the NFC title game pre-game show that Falcons head coach Dan Quinn is already lining up offensive coordinator candidates to replace Shanahan. Glazer said that former San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly is one such candidate.
It is not a surprise Quinn would have short list fairly quickly. If Shanahan leaves, they need to be ready to replace him, especially considering Quinn’s background is on defense.
