This has been a golden age of stability for the Atlanta Falcons, a sentence that is sadder than I thought it would be when I started it. Let’s continue.
The Falcons have had just two head coaches since 2008, with Mike Smith at the helm from 2008-2014 and Dan Quinn at the helm since. That stability has been underwritten with coordinator changes, with Smitty nudging out his offensive and defensive coordinators once and Dan Quinn turning over his by firings and hirings twice now. Keith Armstrong is the lone constant in all those years, and heading into 2019, even he’s gone.
