Robb4242 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think they will keep MM around until he's interviewed. Fans will be pizzed, but I think they will do him the favor of not firing him and letting him transition smoothly. That said, if he's not hired for either job, I don't think his contract is renewed since it is up this year.If the axe is going to fall on BVG, it may well fall tomorrow.JMO, I hope that if we fire people tomorrow, it's because we were planning to do so & not as a knee jerk reaction to the Giants game. For the coaches who were fired after the season, those FO's & owners had decided long before that day to make the firing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Mingus Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Jim Mora was fired for much less. Edited January 9, 2012 by Thelonious Mingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=abrahamburger= Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 At this point, AB almost has to fire someone.If he doesn't (for whatever reason), then I'll take it as a sign that this franchise is serious about contending but not serious about winning.

mattyicefalcon Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 if I were AB = I would most definitely start no later then tomorrow.It's not a effin rocket science to figure out what needs to be rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Hope Eagle Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I personally belive MM has to go especially with remarks like this.However, not all of the blame falls on the quarterback. Rather than challenge defenses with aggressive play-calling, Atlanta has played scared.“We talked about trying to establish the running game because we didn’t think we could pass protect,” said Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, who was limited to five catches for 52 yards with a long of only 21 yards. “We played right into their hands. I mean, if they sack us every down and we can’t move the ball, OK. But let’s try.”[ Photo gallery: Giants dominate Falcons in NFC wild-card game ]White’s remarks echo private comments of several other players who have pointed at a disconnection who offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey’s approach. Numerous players believe Mularkey is too conservative, particularly in tense situations like the playoffs.Or as one player put it: “Something has to be said to [coach] Mike [smith] this offseason.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Doubt it starts tomorrow. This staff is big on patience. I am looking for something to change though in the coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetUSom3 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If this staff remains intact for next year, I will join the Bowling League and wait until Mr. Blank grows a pair and then I will start watching my team again.Average is not good enough.This city has been waiting over 40 years for a Trophy and the FANS deserve coaches that want it the same.

I Even Bleed Red Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 It won't be tomorrow. Smitty and TD don't roll like that. They are going to evalutate every situation. Unfortuantely, people will be fired, but definitely not tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4LoveoftheGame Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I don't see anything happening until at the very least MM has his interviews and the Head Coaching positions he is up for is decided on. They will not hurt his chances by firing him before then.Outside of that I really don't think any other changes will be made, but I sure hope something is done.Other than that our best chance of change is free agency, because the draft is most likely not going to bring any immediate impact players.

If anyone embarrassed Blank, it was him, not making the most of what he was given. He better hope the Jags decision comes tomorrow, because if you ask me, he shouldn't have been let on the plane. Sorry, but my tolerance of Mularkey ended when the clock hit 00:00. I never liked him, but wasn't on board with firing him during the season. Season's over. Buh BYE.

FalconJim Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 YEP, "Full-o-Mularkey" needs to move on. I didn't like it when they hired him, and I like it a LOT LESS now. Apparently, he just doesn't have the "smarts" to get the most out of the offensive talent we have. But like someone else said, I don't think they'll fire him....I think they'll let him go ahead and take another position elsewhere.And I think, BVG had our defense as ready to play as we could be (with the talent we have....they just got wore out, from being on the field all day! So I say keep him, and try to get some better players on the defensive side of the ball, either through the draft, or FA.It's a BUMMER, to reach the playoffs 3 times in the last 4 years, and not get a win. But, I think it's coming, if TD & Co. will make some wise moves this off season. Can't wait 'til April, and the draft!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the coaches who were fired after the season, those FO's & owners had decided long before that day to make the firing.Precisely. Yesterday's game might be the 'icing on the cake', in a putrid, horrible tasting icing and cake kind of way, but it should only be a 'confirmation' of what the FO already knew or had already planned for.

joe_fishback Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 oh the irony kevin gilbride called a very conservative game also it was 7-2 at the half, the difference is they could actually run the ball, and they have a qb that can actually manage a pocket,and make plays when the pocket breaks down, this was a matty ice melt down, he looked like blaine gabbert out there yesterday.
