Falcons fire Mike Smith

Mike Smith is available. Is he any good? A career 66-46 record says yes but he famously struggled to win in the postseason (1-4). His team flamed out this year as well. How can you not win THAT division? Just beat the Panthers at home and you're hosting a very winnable playoff game against the Cardinals. And they got beat down 34-3? Hard to envision anyone hiring him as Head Coach after that.

He didn't have enough brains to get rid of Mike Nolan and you think he should be hired here?


NO

NO

Where do you gather that I want him here?

Marc Trestman fired. That was pretty obvious. Is it back to Canada for Trestman?

when will Roman be on this list?

Roman is on his own list. He was fired last season, someone just didn't tell him.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer

Falcons owner Arthur Blank, president Rich McKay, and GM Thomas Dimitroff expected to speak at the 11 am presser.

Jets' GM.

I'm suprised Harbs is going to Michigan with all these coaching jobs open. Jim could have any job he wanted in the NFL right now I'm sure. I think he would do well in Atlanta even with Roman as OC. In fact a stout running game with weapons like Julio and Roddy White would be a great compliment to Roman's running game (only thign good about his offense) and Ryan+Julio will carry any OC's passing game imo. Jim could fix ATL's main issue... DEFENSE. With only the weak NFC South to battle this would be a perfect job for him... AND the owner is humble and respectful of the game. If they keep Dimitroff, he seems like a guy who gets the talent and lets his coaches coach. This would be a good fit for Jim... IMO.

Roman is not an NFL OC. I strongly doubt any other team would pick him up. And I think you are off the mark when you suggest JH could have any job he wanted. Raiders yes.

Agree on Harbaugh. In a league where more passing is becoming the norm, not sure many teams want a Bo Shembeckler offense.

49 wins in 4 seasons says otherwise. Most owners want winners, how it gets done is irrelevant. I don't think Baltimore or Seattle feels any worse or better about the SB trophies they have won with strong defense and a stout running game.
