Early life

After graduating from Norwood High School in Norwood, Massachusetts in 1994, Quinn attended the University of Connecticut, earning a Bachelor's Degree in political science in 1998, and earning his Master's Degree in sports management in 2000. He was a graduate assistant for Connecticut in 1998 and 1999.

Executive career

New England Patriots

Quinn joined the New England Patriots in 2000 as a player personnel assistant, spending two seasons in that position. He spent another two seasons as a pro scout, four seasons as a regional scout, and one season as a national scout before being promoted to assistant director of pro personnel in 2009. [2] Quinn was promoted to Director of Pro Scouting in May 2012. [3]

Detroit Lions

On January 8, 2016, the Detroit Lions hired Quinn as general manager. [4]

After 2 seasons of being the GM, Quinn fired Jim Caldwell on January 1, 2018, due to the team's 9–7 record that season, which was “not good enough”, according to Quinn. This drew some criticism with the fans, as Caldwell's record with the Lions (36–28 with 2 playoff appearances) and overall win percentage (.563) was the best the Lions had since the merger.

On February 5, 2018, Quinn named Matt Patricia the head coach, who led the Lions to a 6–10 record his first year.

On November 28, 2020, Quinn along with head coach Matt Patricia, were fired by the Lions. [5] [6] Quinn finished his tenure with the Lions with a 31–43–1 (.420) record.

Cleveland Browns

On July 30, 2021, Quinn was hired by the Cleveland Browns to be the senior personnel and coaching executive in their football operations department under general manager Andrew Berry. [7] [8]

Atlanta Falcons

On January 26, 2026, Quinn was hired by the Atlanta Falcons as the senior advisor to the head coach. In this role, Quinn will continue to work with head coach Kevin Stefanski who he had worked with in Cleveland. [9]
