Falcons to bring back Dan Quinn Thomas Dimitroff for 2020 season despite 2019 di

There will be no sweeping changes within the organization in 2020, despite the disappointment that came attached to the 2019 season. The team has announced it will retain both head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff following the team's final regular season game against the in Week 17.This comes on the heels of a 6-9 record heading into Central Florida on Sunday, with owner Arthur Blank now making good Tony Snell Jersey  on his continued commitment throughout the season in Quinn and Dimitroff. Quinn, who joined the Falcons in 2015, saw immediate succe s after building the club up initially  Damian Jones Jersey to an 8-8 record in his first year -- going on to make a Super Bowl appearance in his second. Matt Ryan was named league MVP that same year, and things were going swimmingly until they weren't, the team's slow decline beginning in the second half of that very Super Bowl when they lost a 28-3 lead -- and ultimately the game -- to to the New England Patriots.They'd still manage a 10-6 record in Year 3 under Quinn, but lost in the NFC Divisional Round before stumbling to a 7-9 finish in 2018. They entered the 2019 season with high expectations, but lost six straight after a 1-1 start. This led many to believe  Dewayne Dedmon Jersey Quinn's coaching seat was white-hot, and the same goes for the one beneath Dimitroff, but Blank often swatted away insinuations he'd fire either.Quinn also retained play-calling duties on defense and, to his credit, was able to rally a downtrodden Falcons club to five wins in their last seven games, and that includes dismantling the high-powered Saints in New Orleans as well as an upset of the equally potent San Francisco 49ers.That may all have truly been the beginning of Blank feeling good about the future of Quinn and  Charlie Brown Jersey Dimitroff alike, and it bought them at least one more John Collins Jersey  season to get the Falcons back to The Promised Land.The team also named Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator, and with one small change, both Quinn and Dimitroff will report directly to team CEO Rich McKay -- as opposed to Blank. Blank will continue to oversee football operations, but McKay will be the conduit between all parties involved. It'll be interesting to see if that small alteration in proce s bears any real fruit going forward.
