Dan Quinn, Falcons Overhaul Coaching Staff
6 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons fired offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian, defensive coordinator Marquand Manuel and special teams coach Keith Armstrong on Monday, according to sources. The Falcons were a huge disappointment on both sides of the ball in 2018. The issues on defense were mainly due to key injuries early in the season. The offense underachieved under Sarkisian in his two seasons, although they ranked sixth in yards per game (389.1), fourth in passing yards per game (290.8) and 10th in points per game (25.9) in 2018. With all the talent on both sides of the ball, Atlanta could easily bounce back and be a playoff contender in 2019.
