Eric Bienemy is exactly who the Atlanta Falcons need

When the Atlanta Falcons hired Dan Quinn, they had a plethora of offensive weapons but their defense was beyond bad.

Dan Quinn became the Atlanta Falcons head coach, he hit the ground running, making the super bowl in his second season with the team and before that super bowl, Atlanta thought they had found their guy. The coach will put, and keep the Atlanta Falcons on the map.

Fast forward to now and my, how things have changed. Now the Atlanta Falcons offense still has a plethora of weapons, but the defense is, well, the same. The noticeable difference is, Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff definitely have drafted some very good defensive players – but the coaching or the execution just is still not there. And to top it all off, the offense is running out of time, and have to play absolute perfect football in order to keep the team in games, let alone win them – because of the lack of defense.

So to fix this problem, we hire a defensive mind, right? Well, not so fast.

• New England Patriots
• Buffalo Bills
• Kansas City Chiefs
• Dallas Cowboys
• San Francisco 49ers
• Seattle Seahawks
• Los Angeles Rams
• Green Bay Packers
• Chicago Bears
• New Orleans Saints

These are the 10 teams with a record of 3-1 or better in the NFL right now, do you know what 8 of them have in common?  They have offensive-minded head coaches. The Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots have defensive-minded head coaches but it must be noted that the Patriots offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels has been a head coach, and is usually rumored for head coaching gigs every offseason and will probably end up as the Patriots head coach when Yoda leaves.

So, it didn’t work when the Atlanta Falcons brought in Dan Quinn, a defensive guy. (Who happened to replace another “defensive guy” in Mike Smith)

With that in mind, as well as offensive head coaching seems to be the trending facet of the league, you have to look no further than this guy: Eric Bieniemy
