Shanny Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 He needs to build the team from inside out. ( Hopefully). With all the draft picks and the team picks the right ones. We should be set for a long time . If they blow the draft it's the same ole Falcons of the last 40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA_DAWG46 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 He will not get a free pass. Anything and everything can happen in football. Every players love Coach Smith. Remember this, if the players really like the coaches and they are close with each other, they tend to play alot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papi Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Its all circumstantial....if we have a bad year with a good effort in transition, sure its understandable in our situation which EVERYONE knows about.If we tailspin with a lot of idiotic decisions along the way, best believe there will be second thoughts, additional scrutiny and an eye toward the future.

nick h Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 we will not suck this year. in fact i think with good draft decisions and decent qb play we could be a dark horse to win the division. we play in the worst football division the nfc south. anything is possible. also we have an easy schedule. 3 playoff teams, 4 games against playoff teams(2 versus bucs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4DR0X Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Last time when we had a coach that was loved by his players, he got sent packing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanny Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm just saying it will take time the new players will be rookies. Coach Smith is a good coach who will get a free pass as he installs his philosphy.With all the picks the team has and if they pick right the team will be good for years to come.It will take time. If it works out good for next year great, but you are installing a completely new system.I,m sure they all will work hard compared to last year and that loser head coach we had.

falconfansincebartkowski Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Dan Reeves was/still is a great TEAM coach, he teaches teamwork and every player makes a team mentality based on priciples designed to create comraderie among the players. Mike Smith has the same beliefs in his approach to the TEAM as a unit, each cog on the gear just as important as the next, no "I" in TEAM. Respect equally distributed to each player on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyes Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Mike Smith was the perfect coach for this job. This thread title is totally unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this, if the players really like the coaches and they are close with each other, they tend to play alot better.I agree. I heard Brian Finneran on the radio last week on 680 the Ham talking about how much the atmosphere has changed at Flowery Branch with the new coach. It was great to hear. He said the guy is approachable and that he encourages fun out there at practice without forgetting to get down to buisiness. Finn even said the admin people at Flowery are walking around smiling again, something missing from last year with Bobby Baloney trying to be such a hard azz. That tension is gone and everyone is happy about it which to me sounds like a good thing for the "team". After what we all have been through, comaradie is the best thing we can hope for at this point. With that, everything else should fall into place in time...

RealBird! Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 This team is not bad because with so many new pieces we can't possibly know that. What we can tell is that we will have the youngest team in the league for the foreseeable future. Wins will depend on how long it will take to develop them.
