in Fairness to the Falcons, Smith wasn't the coach Saints fans were hoping to get fired after the game.

This dude can’t win. His motherfricking names Arthur for God sakes . It’s hard to be a leader of men with that name


His dad is Fred Smith (FedEx: $5.6 billion net worth), so he's always winning even when he is losing.

So did Arthur Smith have draft control or was that Fontenot?

Because the Falcons main issue was a QB and relying on Desmond Ridder for 2/3 of Smith's seasons at HC.

Falcons fans shouldn't trust Blank to make a good hire. He's a bad owner.

Say what you want about how he runs the team but from a fan perspective there are far worse owners.

Bill Belichick is still the head coach in New England but the Atlanta Falcons are a team to watch if Belichick is available. They are interested, per sources.

Arthur Blank would be the dumbass who would trade for BB

Blank is a moron if he goes the BB route. Ran the NE organization into the ground - don’t want to hear anyone saying it was not Brady that truly carried that franchise into the success.

The problem with BB is his role as GM, and that he would expect/demand that role.

If he just wants the record, maybe he will suck it up for a few years, but I can't imagine him doing that.

BB is still fine as a coach.

He's a terrible owner. End of discussion.

Smith.

Fontenot isn't even running the coaching search. Blank and McKay are.

His entire organizational structure is FUBAR'D. He is a BAD owner who doesn't learn from his mistakes. He's gonna bitch this hire too.

He'd be better off selling the team at this point. He's clueless.
