The Atlanta Falcons shocked all of us by announcing both Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff would return in 2020. Surely, heads must roll after a second disappointing season where the Falcons fail to compete for the playoffs. At least in 2018, the staff had just made back-to-back playoff runs and were dealt with an insane number of injuries.
In 2019, the playoffs turned into a long-forgotten memory. The injuries never came, but the results were the same. Things looked up more recently with some big wins and an improved defense after a coaching shuffle.
Who was to pay for two down seasons, poor player development, bad contracts, and inconsistent play?
