New Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn is a busy man. He just recently finished up his duties as defensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks in one of the great Super Bowls of all-time and immediately started his new job with the Falcons.
After five successful years under Mike Smith, the Falcons fell on hard times in 2013 and 2014 finishing 4-12 and 6-10. Quinn takes over for Smith with some great offensive building blocks but not a lot to work with on defense.
Today, Dan Quinn took over the Atlanta Falcons official Twitter account to answer questions from the fans. Let’s check in and see what Quinn had to say to his new fanbase….

Linemen come in all sizes, @hecknot. Main criteria is being able to run their feet in the zone scheme. #DQTakeover
