Kayoh Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 What ever happens this offseason...no matter what we do in the playoffs. Whether we go 1-and-done, lose in the NFC Championship game, lose the Super Bowl, or WIN the Super Bowl. WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT LET MIKE NOLAN LEAVE. OPEN THE CHECKBOOK. What ever another team is willing to pay for him to be their head coach, MATCH IT to keep him around as our defensive coordinator.Atlanta Falcons fans know a good thing when they see it. Mike Nolan is the best defensive coordinator this organization has ever had. DO NOT let him escape without a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconBlood23 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Sell your house and all of his profits from Home Depo if he needs to. Nolan is just too good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realsurfin Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Atlanta Falcons special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong also will be interviewed by the Bears, a source told ESPNChicago.com. Armstrong was on the Bears staff from 1997-2000 while Emery was a scout for the Bears from 1998-2004. They also overlapped with the Falcons.

Walt Hartwell White Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Fire Smith if we go one and done and romote Nolan to head coach. Just like people say Dirk benefited from a great offense Ryan and co have carried Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exar0s Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nolan isn't going anywhere. I believe he will stay here a few more years to pad his stats before looking for a HC job on a quality team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kschreck Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 56 wins in 5 seasons.I know everyone's going to point at the 0-3 playoff record and believe I hate that too.My question is who is out there, especially after all of the other teams have filled their vacancies, that we can be sure it will be an upgrade?I've seen most saying Nolan, and that could work out but who's to say it would and who knows if he'd even be available? I say give Smith another year regardless.....fire away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon of Truth Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 While I get what this poster is trying to say, Nolan is not the best D coordinator we have ever had. I'm assuming you are too young to know about the good ole 'Gritz Blitz' defense back in the day. That was the best D we ever had and for a short while it was the best in the league. Nolan is good but not the best. Let's wait a few more years to see how he does. Far too early to be calling him the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too early to be calling him the best.I'm guessing he's basing that off of Nolan's successful history, not just his year here. I wouldn't be surprised if a high percentage of guys on here weren't around for 98, let alone Glanville or earlier....like the Gritz Blitz.

Finally Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 And Belicheck was so great in Cleveland his first time as a head coach...Wow. Compelling argument. So because Belichick was better his second time around that is proof positive Nolan will be? Only a moron would be in favor of replacing a proven winner with a big question mark. He is only among the most winningest active coaches. We are only one of the least penalized teams in the league.It is like you guys do not pay attention to this league and the teams that are firing coaches every 2 to 3 years begging to find a coach like Smith and you just toss his aside like he is easily replaced?

FalconsIn2012 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 While I'm not down with firing Smith, discounting Nolan's head coaching resume is not really fair. The current 49ers team was largely assembled by him. I think he will be a good head coach...but I'd rather him stay as our DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helping to find talent is all nice and good but the real task is coaching that talent to its full potential.I am sure his has grown since then and would probably make a great HC but they key word there is "probably". We have a sure thing right now, replacing him with probably is just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papachaz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 This!And Belicheck was so great in Cleveland his first time as a head coach...the owner also didn't pick up the niners mid season and start planning to bolt outta town either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
