Falcons fire Quinn after 0-5 start, worst since ‘97

With a disappointing winless start to the season, the Atlanta Falcons look to overcome adversity in the coming weeks. Their 0-5 record (for the first time since 1997) stems from injuries and a struggling coaching situation. The Falcons are one of only three winless teams this season, but a change in the coaching staff may turn things around for the team.

This week, the Atlanta Falcons announced the removal of head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff from the organization.

Quinn had been head coach in Atlanta for six seasons, with a 43-42 record overall and the infamous Super Bowl LI loss.
