Dan Quinn Fired as Falcons Head Coach After 0-5 Start to 2020 NFL Season

The fired head coach on Sunday after a 23-16 defeat to the Carolina Panthers dropped them to 0-5 to start the 2020 season.

Shortly after the game, The Athletic's Jeff Schultz reported Quinn was on his way out, with a formal announcement likely coming within a matter of days. Owner Arthur Blank, however, initially declined to comment on Quinn's job security.

"When we have something to say, I'll say it," Blank told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday.

The Falcons didn't wait much longer, however, to part ways with Quinn.
