Ex-Seahawks DC Dan Quinn takes full ownership for calls late in Falcons’ Super Bowl collapse

INDIANAPOLIS After two seasons and one, crushing Super Bowl title squandered, Dan Quinn has perhaps the most important aspect of leadership nailed.

Taking full responsibility.

The former Seahawks’ defensive coordinator showed how solid he was in his first head-coaching job in Atlanta here Wednesday on the first morning of the NFL combine. Quinn stood tall and answered more than 15 minutes of questions at a podium inside the Indiana Convention Center. He continued answering for at least that long more questions from a smaller group of reporters off to the side. Many of the questions were about his Falcons blowing a 28-3 lead in the second half of their overtime loss to New England in Super Bowl 51 last month.
