BVG essentially quit, he wasn't fired. This adds merit to the beliefs he was being handcuffed by Smitty. Maybe Smith was forcing him to run this busted scheme and not allowing him to run the Defense in the way he saw fit. If that's the case no DC we could bring in will make a difference unless Smitty gives full reigns. I really don't know what to make of this.

Oh, come on! This was the Falcons way of letting him go without having to fire him. Mike Smith probably told him after the N.O. game that he needed to find something else. Mularkey will be next and his departure will be along the same lines. Of course, after the performance yesterday, Smitty may be telling us that Mularkey has decided to leave in order to take the position of equipment manager at Podunk University.

From Twitter. New DC, any guesses?

Personally, I'd like to see Smith take the reigns. He's a defensive guy. He got the job because of his prowess. He's not going to want to hire and outsider and give him total autonomy on that side of the ball, so I say he take over the defense and get it fixed himself.

Grab Tim Lewis who has coordinator experience, and put him in charge of the legwork that takes place during the week -- similar to how Mike Pettine assists Rex Ryan in New York -- and let Smith take the call sheet on Sundays.
