Under Quinn, I assume?

As a Saints fan, I approve of this OC hire

Eta- you a Falcons fan? You like the hires of Quinn and KS?

I'm a Falcons fan, yes. I like the Shanahan hire actually. He was able to milk points out of a wretched Browns offense until Alex Mack broke his leg. Atlanta has much better talent on offense than Cleveland, and I think he'll be good at getting the ball in the hands of the best players (Julio and Freeman) often. Ryan is a much better QB than Hoyer, Manziel and Griffin. It'll be interesting to see what Shanahan can do with someone capable of throwing an accurate forward pass.

As for Quinn, I'm not sure. That's Pete Carroll's defense in Seattle. That defense was awesome under Gus Bradley, and when he left it was still awesome and looked almost identical. Bradley has sucked in Jax, but coaching the Jaguars is like coaching with a blindfold on. That roster is awful. I do like the idea of getting a defensive mind in as HC.

I think AB mom's funeral and events surrounding it really screwed you guys time wise. I thought getting Rex would've been tremendously fun for the rivalry.

It definitely did if Rex was actually the #1 target. There have been so many rumors and possible misinformation out there, who the hell knows what the plan actually was?

I though Quinn was going to go with Gase. Either way, all but sure its Quinn now. They wouldnt have hired an OC yet if it was gonna be Austin .

IMO Ryan was never serious about taking the Falcons job and just interviewed to have some leverage with other jobs. I know he interviewed but I think he just enjoys living/ coaching in the North East seeing as he has been coaching in that region since 2000.
