NFL Week 9, 2019: 5 Coaches on the hot seat

1. Dan Quinn

The good news for the Atlanta Falcons is as a result of the bye week, there’s no way for Dan Quinn and company to suffer a loss on Sunday, which is sad to consider a win at this point.

But once the Falcons return from their break, the chances of this team suffering two more losses in a row seem highly likely since Atlanta faces two tough battles against the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers.

For a team that seemed like a strong candidate to bounce back in 2019, this was the last position the Falcons expected to find themselves in at the halfway mark of the regular season since the talent on the roster alone made it seem like they would be legitimate contenders.

It’s tough to place all of the blame on Quinn for what has taken place this season, but also keep in mind that Atlanta failed to reach the playoffs last year as well, despite all of the great talent to work with.

At the end of the day, the Falcons need to realize that moving on from Quinn may be necessary to get this team finally moving in the right direction, especially since the fan base already seems pretty fed up.
