NFL Week 6, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat
By Dan Parzych
1. Dan Quinn
Most head coaches would do anything to have the kind of talent Dan Quinn currently has with the Atlanta Falcons, and there’s no excuse for the team to be sitting with only one win at this point in October.
If anything, the Falcons should be right up there with the rest of the teams in the NFC South, yet find themselves sitting at the bottom of the division heading into Sunday’s contest against the Arizona Cardinals.
After looking at how much Atlanta’s defense struggled to keep the Houston Texans in check during Week 5, there’s all of a sudden some concern over what to expect from Kyler Murray on offense for the Cardinals.
Even if the case can be made that Atlanta could benefit from Murray being a work in progress as a rookie, this still seems like the ultimate trap game for the Falcons if they fail to take the proper approach.
As bad as it sounds, each loss moving forward puts Quinn more at risk to lose his job since the Falcons aren’t in a good position to allow this talented roster go to complete waste.

Defeating the Cardinals will certainly help crank the heat down a bit for Quinn, but if not, the Falcons coach could follow the similar steps to Jay Gruden in being out of a job.
