Arthur Blank Supports Dan Quinn as Head Coach Despite Falcons' Struggles
November 23, 2018
Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn received a vote of confidence from ownership following the team's 31-17 loss against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday.
Per ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure, Falcons owner Arthur Blank doesn't believe Quinn is the reason why they are 4-7 this season.
"Absolutely. We love our coach," Blank said. "Our coach is not the problem."
The Falcons have run the gamut between hot and cold all season. They had a three-game losing streak from Week 3-6, which was followed by a three-game winning streak, and are now immersed in another three-game losing streak.
Atlanta's seven losses are three more than the Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings, who currently hold the two wild-card spots in the NFC.
Quinn led the Falcons to the playoffs in each of the past two seasons, including a Super Bowl appearance in 2016. He and general manager Thomas Dimitroff were rewarded with three-year contract extensions in July that run through the 2022 season.
