I got to meet former Falcons HC Mike Smith today

[facelessman07]

As a Falcon fan, I will always appreciate the success that Smitty brought to Atlanta so quickly

However, it was his time to go after last year. TD should've been given a pink slip as well

But I'm not sure you could ever meet a nicer guy. He's a class act and I wish him the best wherever he ends up

Your avatar is what I picture when I think of Falcons fans.

I wish someone would have asked him "How does it feel to have an owner breathing down your neck on the sideline and giving his input into drafting decisions?"

Definitely not the last coach that will be fired as a result of Hard Knocks appearance more than actual football reasons.

What's up with the tallest dude standing front and center?  Isn't that against picture etiquette?

[jasonluckydog]

You really disappointed the hard core Panther fans here...

I guess punching him in the balls and yelling Panthers rulz is too much to ask?

My guess is that the tall dude is the boss for the company that sponsored this.  Corporate etiquette trumps picture etiquette.

I always thought smith was a pretty good coach but he made some inexplicable bad decisions late in games last year.

Remember the old "dome" at ETSU? I played in that dome.  Donnie Abraham (who ended up playing for Tampa) intercepted a pass.  I had an angle on him from about 40 yards away.  As I was closing in to make the tackle he blew by me like a flash of lightning, I whiffed, he scored, and I went flying into the ETSU bench like a 290 lb wind sock. It was televised. Yay me.

You should have asked him what he really thinks about Artie the weasel, and the new sphincter dome.  But cool story.

Someone did ask what it was like working for Arthur Blank.  He kept it classy and said that if it weren't for Arthur, he wouldn't have had the opportunity and he was forever grateful but we all make mistakes and Arthur made a mistake by firing him.

Awesome..Steve Martin was there also!

Atlanta did a great job distancing itself from Mike Vick and that whole mess when they hired Dimitroff, Smith and drafted Ryan. At the time, it was the best thing they could have done. Problem is, they never did anything else to continue the growth and success.

Mike Smith was definitely a shot in the arm for the failcans after the whole Bobby Petrino mess. Of course Bobby Petrino is a whole nother story''''hehe...
