Good for Quinn. I don't want to lose him, but he deserves it more than Bradley did.

I think he'd do well in Atlanta.

Well that was a drive-by. Gus did a great job of building our defense up to a really high level; he was very deserving of the opportunity he's gotten in Jacksonville.

They all have to begin on the "bottom floor"! The problem is......owners don't want to wait several years. Good coaches reveal themselves within two years.....IMO. However, our previous coach showed his true colors in one year.

I'm not saying Bradley didn't deserve it, I'm just saying I've been more impressed with Quinn's handling of the personnel. Moving Red Bryant to DE from DT was Quinn's idea during his first stint, as was moving Bruce Irvin from DE to LB.

The rumor I was hearing for a while was Quinn to the 49ers.
Good to hear he has some other choices too. I don't know what would possess a coach to take the 49ers job considering just how shabbily they treated the phenomenal coach they had there, especially considering what they gave him to work with.
Rumors I kept hearing were that the whole schism was brought down by Harbaugh not wanting to do the glad handling crap that was part of the stadium campaign. It had nothing to do with the product on the field, just a p*ssing contest started by that younger York.
Wouldn't want to see Quinn go to the 49ers, not because of the job he would do - but because he would have to put up with that piece of crap FO and ownership. No good coach deserves that.
Wouldn't mind him ending up in the AFC but man, getting stuck with the Jets....that is like winning the Brown's coaching job or getting hired as the manager of the Cubs or Mariners.
Atlanta looks fantastic in contrast. Though I think we all are hoping we can somehow keep him one more year.

I really can't see them hiring Quinn...but then again I didn't think Harbaugh would go to Michigan either.
It's not that I don't have any respect for Quinn, I do, but if they were going to hire a DC to become Head Coach I think they'd just promote Fangio.

So basically his options are keep coaching one of the greatest defenses of all time with the chance to win multiple Superbowls or coach the Falcons or Jets........

If we lose Quinn, I hope we elevate Rocky Seto to DC. Out of all the position coaches, he's done the best job developing players. Seto was also DC for Carroll at USC.

A guy can't be overly picky about his first head coaching job. Pretty rare that you get to fill a really attractive opening with your first gig.

Wouldn't you want a chance to be a head coach and make twice as much money?

Marvin Lewis, Rex Ryan, and Mike Smith were all defensive assistants for the 2000 Ravens. Those guys have since made a lot of money as HCs in this league while that Ravens team is no longer together. You take your opportunities when you get them.

I would think it would be more like seeing what kind of potential you can do with some raw people and make them into a team. If you can do it as a coach, more power to you. The dollars will fall as they may.

Do you guys think there is a possibility Quinn WON'T leave?
I have absolutely NO idea how much coaches / coordinators make (well, except HC). Enough to make them maybe stay and NOT take a HC job somewhere?
How 'bouts the 49ers take Bevell instead? lol

I appreciate that these opportunities don't come along that often but how rare is it that you get the opportunity to coach a unit that may go down as one of, if not the best to ever play the game. In my eyes this defense has already surpassed the 2000 Ravens just by winning the Super Bowl AND leading the league in yards & points allowed two years running. With three more wins it will be official.
HC jobs will always be there as long as this defense is playing at an elite level and challenging for championships, the opportunity he has with us right now is of the once in a generation kind.

Quinn has the best gig in the NFL. It would be like leaving Led Zeppelin to join the Monkees.
