The Atlanta Falcons have fired Dan Quinn as head coach and Thomas Dimitroff as general manager after their 0-5 start.
Team president Rich McKay will assume day-to-day oversight of football operations in the interim.
Coordinators Raheem Morris and Dirk Koetter each have previous head coaching experience.
\"Decisions like these are very difficult, but the previous two seasons and start to this one have been especially hard for me because of the deep love, admiration and respect I and my family have for Dan, Thomas and their families,\" Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement. \"For many years, they have represented me, our team, organization and Atlanta with class, commitment and all the passion you would want in the leaders of the team.\"
