Report: Falcons to Evaluate Head Coach Dan Quinn on a 'Week-to-Week' Basis

Quinn enters Sunday with a 37–35 record as Atlanta's head coach in five seasons

The Falcons will evaluate head coach Dan Quinn on a "week-to-week" basis to close 2019, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. 

Quinn is reportedly on the hot seat after Atlanta's 1–7 start. If the Falcons lose by a significant margin to the Saints on Sunday, "we will be keeping a very close eye on the job status of Dan Quinn," per Rapoport.

The 49-year-old has been Atlanta's head coach since 2015. He is 37–35 with Atlanta, though the Falcons are 8–16 since the start of 2018. Quinn guided the Falcons to the NFC crown in 2016 before losing to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI.

Quinn and the Falcons will face the Saints in New Orleans on Sunday. Kickoff from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome is slated for 1 p.m. ET.
