Looking at Potential Head Coaching Candidates for the Atlanta Falcons
The NFL regular season is over, and the Atlanta Falcons wasted no time in firing former head coach Arthur Smith following three consecutive 7-10 seasons, ending with 48-17 pummeling at the hands of their NFC South division rival New Orleans Saints.
A tenure that can be characterized as a massive disappointment was full of potential yet was marred by such surprising regression. With talent on both sides of the ball including wide receiver Drake London, running back Bijan Robinson, tight end Kyle Pitts, cornerback AJ Terrell, and safety Jessie Bates III, Smith was simply unable to bring it all together to create a winning formula in Atlanta.
Smith’s letting go was just one of several coaching changes around the league, which includes the Patriots parting ways with Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel’s exit in Tennessee, amongst others.
Owner Arthur Blank will look to find his next head coach within this crop.
