Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is adamant that he wants to return to the playoffs this season, despite their changeover in head coach in the off-season.

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank has insisted that the club are not in a rebuilding mode this season.

The Falcons fired Mike Smith after back-to-back losing campaigns where they missed the playoffs, and as a result hired Dan Quinn from the Seattle Seahawks.

Blank is adamant that he wants to see his side reach the post-season again immediately, despite the turnover in staff and players in the off-season.

"I've said this to Dan. I've said this to [general manager] Thomas [Dimitroff] as late as tonight. We're not about tomorrow. We're not about rebuilding and building. We're about winning and we're about winning now," Blank told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"The Atlanta fans and the fans across the NFL are entitled to know that this ownership and this leadership team will do whatever it takes to put a winning team on the field.

"We will not wait any period of time to do it. We'll leave no stone unturned. We'll look at everything that we can that's possible to give us the best opportunity to win. We owe that to our fans. We owe that to the NFL."

The Falcons reached the NFC championship game in the 2012 campaign where they were defeated by the San Francisco 49ers.
