Falcons expected to fire Mike Smith

Falcons owner Arthur Blank has informed multiple parties that he plans on moving on from head coach Mike Smith at the end of the season, sources said, and it would take a shocking playoff run to alter that scenario. Blank has also told some confidants that, for now, he expects to retain general manager Thomas Dimitroff, though it could be revisited through the hiring process.

1. Wtf are the Panthers going to do? Mike Smith record > Rivera

 

2. Do you think the Falcons will still ball out knowing they're probably playing for a lame duck and it'll take a deep playoff run to keep Mike? If they lose today, and we win they'll be eliminated. Will they let up a little?

As much as I hate the Falcons, I've always thought Mike Smith was an excellent coach and a coach that players respect and would run through a wall for. It's not his fault Dimitroff can't put a good team together...

I would take Smith over Rivera in a heartbeat.

Caveat: if Rivera gets us in the playoffs, fug Mike Smith. Coach Rivera is the greatest coach of all time.

Watching hard knocks this year all I kept thinking was "dude this guy is such a pansy. I would never be motivated to do anything for him. I would just turn tomy team mates and say bro..is he serious right now?"

 

yeah , I didn't finish the first episode, all I could think about, was that this whole team is full of sh!t top to bottom.

    • It’s like being on the Flyers broadcast team feed so far
    • Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.
    • I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
