The Atlanta Falcons fell to 0-5 after Sunday’s 23-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers. According to Jeff Schultz of The Athletic, the Falcons have “all but finalized” their decision to terminate head coach Dan Quinn, and could announce the firing as soon as 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

Atlanta started 1-7 last season, but Quinn saved his job after the team won six of its final eight games to finish second in the NFC South. Team owner Arthur Blank believed the Falcons would turn things around based off of the momentum the team built over the second half.
After five weeks, it’s clear that momentum is long gone, and it sounds like Quinn will be soon as well.
