After 4-12, the line coaches needed to be shot, execution-style in the Georgia Dome Gold parking lot.

Like? As long as he has a winning season he'll be back again the following year.

Could be the right time for Stud to coach OL in the NFL.

Close, but we expect the money to roll in and have an above average season. 10 to 11 win seasons are enough for our admin team.

OL coaches Paul Dunn & Pat Hill


After what I saw yesterday, the guys responsible for the Falcons O-line should probably reconsider their football coaching careers altogether.

Pat Hill was damn fine HC at Fresno State.

I would love for Alabama to get him on staff.

Not only for his coaching ability but for his west coast connections for recruiting.

And of course his awesome mustache.

I agree with this. Both lines looked horrible all year.

Fall guys for Dimitroff and Smith's personnel choices.

Firing coaches because the GM and HC thought you could win without a oline.

Not retaining key members of the 2012 OL, and trading away 2 years worth of picks for Julio Jones are the calling card of Dimitroff. The organization stinks to high heaven from the top down.

Why? They had shitty players to work with. These guys are pros, the coaches argument doesn't carry as much weight.

Mike Smith had better win the division of a playoff game next year or he should be gone. He was one of two people who made horrible personnel decisions leading to the total collapse of the team. He then fires several assistant coaches to deflect blame. Who is going to fire next year? the coordinators?

Like I said, I hope he and Dimitrov stay in Atlanta a long time.
