Leadership and Development from Dan Quinn

Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn has brought fire and leadership to Atlanta.

A recurring criticism of former Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith was his lack of passion. When Atlanta was featured on Hard Knocks in 2014, many viewers saw Smith as passive and too soft compared to other coaches featured on the same program. Some even go as far as to credit the dreadful 2013 and 2014 Falcons seasons to Smith’s lack of leadership rather than inconsistency and untimely injuries.

However, Dan Quinn cannot be faulted by the same criticisms. From his first day as head coach, Quinn displayed an intensity for the game and for the success of the Falcons.
