Professional career

Quinlan signed with the Montreal Alouettes on May 8, 2012 after being undrafted in the 2012 CFL Draft.[3] He played in the Alouettes second pre-season game, completing two of four passes for 45 yards, before being released during the team's final training camp cuts.[4] After completing his college eligibility with McMaster, Quinlan re-signed with the Alouettes on December 21, 2012.[5] In May 2013 it was announced that Quinlan would not be joining the Alouettes for their 2013 training camp, despite having signed a 3-year contract in December.[6]

Coaching career

Quinlan decided not to pursue his CFL career, instead he joined the McMaster Marauders coaching staff as the team's running backs coach in May 2013.[7] He then joined the Holland College Hurricanes as the team's head coach and offensive coordinator on July 15, 2015.[8] He won the Moosehead Cup championship that year, but left the team after only one season.

On November 27, 2015, he was hired by the York Lions to become the offensive coordinator of their football team.[9]

On December 1, 2016, it was announced that Quinlan would be returning to the McMaster Marauders as co-offensive coordinator, sharing duties with Tom Flaxman.[10] Quinlan resigned from his position at the end of the 2018 season.
