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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
