'When McDermott was a safety for the College of William and Mary, one of the graduate assistant coaches in 1994 was Quinn, who worked with the defensive line. Quinn, four years older than McDermott, went on to work for VMI and Hofstra before entering the NFL with the 49ers in 2001. He became head coach of the Falcons in 2015 after a successful two-year stint as defensive coordinator for the Seahawks when Seattle made back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, winning the game following the 2013 season.'
