The Atlanta Falcons and Dan Quinn agreed on a five-year deal just hours after the Seattle Seahawks' loss in the Super Bowl.

Quinn spent the past two seasons as defensive coordinator of the Seahawks after being in the same position at the University of Florida.

Quinn is expected to fly to Atlanta on Monday with Falcons officials, including owner Arthur Blank, and will be introduced at a Tuesday news conference, sources told ESPN.  

The Falcons were prohibited from agreeing to a contract with Quinn until after the Seahawks finished competing in Sunday's Super Bowl.
