It’s nothing we haven’t heard before, but with the Falcons’ 2018 season mercifully over, it appears we’re just waiting for the team to move on from its incumbent offensive and defensive coordinators.
The latest to weigh in is ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio, in a series of rapid fire answers to fan questions as firings kick off around the league.
Quinn’s under pressure to move on from both Sarkisian and Manuel, one would suspect, but it’s still a logical outcome. The Falcons were a contender and a playoff team in 2017, but one with evident flaws. In 2018, they suffered game-changing injuries but also were a nightmarishly bad defense and surprisingly tepid offense for long stretches of the season, and even the most patient owner, front office and head coach in the NFL aren’t going to give coaches a pass for that.
