GENERALZOD Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Welcome to Atlanta Mr. Dirk Koetter! Some of the fans here are passionate about the Falcons, as I am myself. I realize your offensive scheme is a take no BS type of offense, or that is one that doesn't think just because the defense gives you 4 yards a play that everything is ok.I also realize that you had no wide receivers or tight ends and a bunch of rookies with the the previous team you worked with and you could not use the offensive style that I have heard you are known for, by that I mean throw the ball down field. Mr. Dirk Koetter, WELCOME TO ATLANTA!!But Please dont start every game with Turner running up the middle!!!!!!!Feel free to express your opinions to the new OC here in this thread.

fansince78 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Welcome indeed. Don't worry, there is no pressure....you will either do well with this offense and turn it into the scoring machine that it is capable of being and be the most loved coordinator of all time, or you can suck and have to fear going out to eat in this city. We are counting on you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustle Up Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 LOL, I kinda feel bad for dude. He was behind the 8-ball from fans before he even got hired. I hope Uncle Smitty knows what he is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capologist Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 http://atlanta.sbnat...ive-coordinator Who Is Dirk Koetter, New Falcons Offensive Coordinator?by Jason Kirk • Jan 15, 2012 11:24 AM ESTWhen you heard Chris Mortensen report former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter will take over the same position on the Atlanta Falcons coaching staff, your second question was, "But weren't the Jaguars really, really bad last year?"(Your first question was, of course, "Who?" There was also probably something about why the Falcons didn't simply hire the 1999 vintage of Mike Martz.)Let us seek answers.If we need to know one thing about Koetter, it's whether he'll be more fearless in crucial games than Mike Mularkey was. And it's safe to say <a href="http://xandolabs.com/2011/07/dirk-koetter-exclusive-interview/">he prefers aerial aggression. Four verts is music to the ears at this point. So check off the first box, in pencil for now.He really didn't have very much to work with during his Jags period, which is when he shared a staff with Mike Smith for the 2007 season. David Garrard had the two best full seasons of his career during Koetter's reign in Jacksonville, but the team had a different leading receiver for all five years of his tenure. Whether that's a roster management problem or a development problem may not be entirely concluded.But look beyond his five-year run as Jacksonville OC -- which included, well, a top-10 offense in his first year, then three top-20 offenses, and finally a top-32 offense -- to see an extensive body of college work.For one, he coached the Arizona St. Sun Devils to a couple bowl wins, a ranked finish and a 40-34 record in six years. His ASU offenses finished in the top 20 in scoring thrice, including one No. 7 effort. It was during his time in Tempe that he developed his national rep as a vertical passing guy. His time with the Sun Devils was done in by his team's inability to win big games. (Though when fired by ASU, he stuck around to coach his players in that year's bowl game.)He also led the Boise St. Broncos to their first three winning seasons in FBS history, including their first two 10-win efforts. One year before his arrival in Idaho, Houston Hutt won four games. The Broncos led the country in points per game in 2000.He spent much of the '80s and '90s hopping throughout the country, with the UTEP Miners, Missouri Tigers, Boston College Eagles and Oregon Ducks before taking over his native state's soon-to-be elite school. (He later expressed regret about leaving Boise State for Arizona State just at the cusp of BSU's BCS success.)UTEP's offense the year before his arrival: No. 85 in the country. During his three years: Nos. 32, 20, and 11. The year after he left: No. 75. He was great at UTEP! He followed head coach Bob Stull to Mizzou, where things didn't go quite as well. That Tigers offense never ranked in the nation's upper half during their five years in Columbia.His two years at Boston College with Dan Henning don't offer much to go by, with two dismal offenses produced, but each of his three Oregon offenses under Mike Bellotti ranked in the nation's top 25, including a No. 6 finish.Most locally relevant, Nick Saban wanted him. Koetter also interviewed for the Alabama Crimson Tide job earlier in the week. We are a collegiate-minded folk, Falcons brass, so please be sure to find a way to emphasize these latter things.As Julio Jones found when handed his first Atlanta playbook, the Falcons and the Tide have used very similar offenses as of late. If Saban thinks it'll work in Tuscaloosa, there's a good sign as to why Mike Smith thinks it'll work in Atlanta. We'll have to go digging to find more evidence as to whether Koetter is capable of constructing bolder attacks than Mularkey was, but there are signs he's been able to produce when working with sufficient resources.The risk the Falcons are taking, in my mind, is on whether his significant college success can translate to NFL success, especially when given a set of talent that should rank among the NFL's elite.

GENERALZOD Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 If you loved Mularkey and Knapp you will love this guy.Why? Explain this please? WTF are you talking about? Schemes and play calls have everything to do with the players you have to utilize them with. I know next to nothing about this coach, that is with the exception of the remarks and things I have heard here by others on these forums. Give the man a chance before you condemn him. He might just know a little bit more than us considering he has made a living doing what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwifalcon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well I see no excuses for this guy if TD gets the o-line in order I gotta think with all the weapons we have at our disposal what excuse can there be I mean surely he's gotta be licking his chops at an oppourtunity to see this offense move into high gear with him at the helm.C'mon Coach what ya got...

AmaZze Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Im not going to judge this guy by his past because he lacked weapons with his prior situtation. However, if he doesn't put up numbers against good teams then he'll be dead to me. Im not going to worry about this until I see what this guy does in Atlanta and until then ill give him the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENERALZOD Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 For the love of God prove me wrong, Koetter...Get your lucky charms ready, line them up in the proper positions and make dang sure you don't ever cross the clovers! LOL! I'm just trying to think about offensive schemes and such, that is probably how the opposing defenses are going to be viewing the play calling. I'm not going to complain, we wanted a coach that wasn't predictable like Mike Mularkey on the offense play calling, well, we got one! No complaints here, all I am saying for now is let's give the dude a chance and see what happens. Change is good, a completely different approach, which I think is just what the Falcons needed.

Guest Negatorris Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Welcome Koetter.
