Daddy's Home 1,093 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Simple truth folks...It's hard to attract top notch coordinators when they suspect the head coach won't last another year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4LoveoftheGame 1,653 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Simple truth folks...It's hard to attract top notch coordinators when they suspect the head coach won't last another year.That is true, they would choose the team they have the most faith in.That is why Spags may be a long shot.

Rod23 213 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 After Mike Smith's latest hire at OC, I have come to realize that I have given Mike Smith to much credit for the Falcons' success. Mike Smith won't be here much longer making crappy decisions like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fansince78 1,034 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Simple truth folks...It's hard to attract top notch coordinators when they suspect the head coach won't last another year.Very true, unless they are candidates for the HC position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fansince78 1,034 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 In all seriousness, Smith is putting his reputation and career on the line with this hire. If he is willing to take that big of a gamble, I can risk saying I will wait and see how it works out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy's Home 1,093 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Very true, unless they are candidates for the HC position.Exactly.If Spags comes here, you know who your next head coach is.Unfortunately if Smith has a lot of say, then the dc won't be any more impressive than our new oc.

1989Fan 16,023 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What makes you guys so sure smith made this hire without any input from TD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy's Home 1,093 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What would we think Smith made the hire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thelonious Mingus 605 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 What makes you guys so sure smith made this hire without any input from TD?This is the definition of a Smith hire. There is no way Blank was thinking of this during the conference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daddy's Home 1,093 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Then what is TD's role? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thiccolas Cage 1,376 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I do not know who was thinking what but somebody must have payed off AB to take this guy. I am so freaking tired of this conservative crap that it is making me sick to my stomach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fansince78 1,034 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Do you guys not think the HC was allowed to pick his OC? With his butt on the line.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
{Mojo-Risin} 217 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Do you guys not think the HC was allowed to pick his OC? With his butt on the line....Don't know. Blank has had his hands in the cookie jar since he bought the team. Mora wasn't a great coach but it was clear towards the end that he was forced to field certain players. I would suspect Blank meddles still. Edited January 16, 2012 by {Mojo-Risin} Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steel City Falcon 1,072 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Blank, TD, and Smith all had input in the hire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hustle Up 818 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah he on the hot seat. That's why I don't know hy people getting all bent out of shape about this Koeter guy. If they suck next year, the entire staff is gonna get the ax. Blank was livid at that press conference. If Uncle Smitty wants to hire people he's comfortable with then fine, it's his a$$ on the line.

4LoveoftheGame 1,653 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Coughlin is a former Jaguars coach, can we trade him with Mike Smith? LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borat 2,409 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 The DC hire will speak volumes, I agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GetUSom3 302 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 .Smith should have been fired. This OC was just a Hail Mary that will prolong our frustration, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconFanForLife 2,097 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Don't know how you guys can get so bent out of shape till you see what our team does next year. Yes you all wanted someone else you did not get, but unless you have some crystal ball you have no clue how this will work out.Furthermore, from what i read decisions like this are jointly made by Smith and TD. I am sure Mr. Blank also has considerable input.Hey most of us spent the season screaming we wanted Mularkey gone, and now we got our wish so be happy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
{Mojo-Risin} 217 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hey most of us spent the season screaming we wanted Mularkey gone, and now we got our wish so be happy? We got a guy that the fans thought Mularkey was an upgrade over. More of the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
