Quinn was unemployed since October when the Falcons fired him and general manager Thomas Dimitroff after a 0-5 start to the season.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Quinn agreed to a three-year deal that should keep him with the franchise through 2023. Dallas previously also locked down offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to a similar contract.

The Cowboys hope that Dan Quinn, who famously served as DC and play-caller for the Seattle Seahawks’ Legion of Boom, can bring a new life to the team’s anemic defense. Dallas had a disastrous season on that side of the ball, allowing 473 points (most in franchise history) while also having the second-worst run defense in the league in 2020.

Quinn spent the majority of his career working as a defensive coach, serving in multiple roles with the San Francisco 49ers, Miami Dolphins, NY Jets, and Seahawks. He was hired as the Falcons’ head coach in 2015.

During his time in Atlanta, Quinn led the Falcons to two playoffs and a Super Bowl LI appearance. He has a 43-42 head coaching record.

Both Quinn and Dimitroff were previously on the hot seat, since the Falcons underperformed last season as well, finishing 2018 with a losing record.

Falcons’ owner Arthur Blank confirmed the duo will stay in a conversation with the team’s official site on Friday. 

“I have long believed that continuity in leadership is very important across all our businesses and the football team is no different in that regard,” said Blank in a statement. “After weighing several factors, including our team’s statistical turnaround and our players’ focus and effort the second half of the season, I feel the decision to retain Thomas and Dan, with Rich providing close day-to-day oversight of the football operation, will provide the timeliest route for the Atlanta Falcons to return to contention in 2020 and beyond.”

Dan Quinn was hired as Atlanta Falcons’ head coach in 2015. Since then, he posted a 42-37 record, while leading the team to playoffs twice. Under Quinn, the Falcons also made a trip to Super Bowl, where they lost despite having a 25-points lead.
