Report: Firing of Dan Quinn "All But Finalized"

Reports are suggesting Quinn could be out as early as Monday morning.

The Atlanta Falcons dropped to 0-5 Sunday in a home loss to the Carolina Panthers and it seems owner Arthur Blank has finally had enough. 

Reports coming out of The Athletic are suggesting that the firing of Quinn is "all but finalized" and could be announced either Monday or Tuesday. 

The Falcons' firing of Dan Quinn has been all but finalized and an announcement could come Monday or Tuesday, a source told @TheAthletic. The Falcons have started 0-5 for the first time since 1997 and Quinn is 14-23 since 2018. @TheAthleticNFL

Perhaps this is a move that should have been made a long time ago, with the Falcons being 14-23 since 2018 and missing the playoffs each of the past two seasons.

The Falcons put up another poor performance Sunday at home vs. the Panthers, allowing Teddy Bridgewater to play almost a perfect game. 

Matt Ryan struggled to pass the ball with any efficiency for the second straight week in the absence of Julio Jones. 

Atlanta sits in last place in the NFC South, and may now have a better shot at the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft than they have at a playoff spot in 2020.

It remains to be seen what the fate of Thomas Dimitroff will be, but it appears Quinn will be the first domino to fall.
