Owner Arthur Blank made the decision two days before the Falcons (6-9) close the season with a game at Tampa Bay.

The Falcons will go through organizational restructuring, restoring team president and CEO Rich McKay to a bigger role in the football operations.

Quinn and Dimitroff will now report directly to McKay, with Blank retaining oversight of football operations. McKay will report to the owner on all football-related matters.

In addition, the Falcons announced that former Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris will take over from Quinn as defensive coordinator.
