g-dawg 43,591 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think that both Thomas Dimitroff and Mike Smith both know they are in serious jeopardy right now - they have been in "lock-step" for 7 years but now its like they are both being interrogated in separate holding cells - it could get ugly in Flowery Branch - how much of it makes it into this "one newspaper town" media? I don't know. But heads are going to roll before season's end and I would not be surprised to see Dimitroff and Smitty start knifing each other in the back - behind the scenes.Maybe it is in bad taste to predict this - but this season is a trainwreck and people trying to desperately hang on to a job might do desperate things.Hopefully Dimitroff/Smith will calmly serve out their term and keep their dignity. Frankly, both of these guys deserve to be fired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frustrating watching your team never make adjustment, never develop or progress the talent we have.. Again, my argument is, HOW CAN YOU BE A DEFENSIVE HEAD COACH BUT YOUR DEFENSE ALWAYS IN THE BOTTOM 5 EVERY YEAR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blkbigdog35 11,319 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I agree g-dawg I think they have taken this team as far as they could time to gracefully move on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Again, my argument is, HOW CAN YOU BE A DEFENSIVE HEAD COACH BUT YOUR DEFENSE ALWAYS IN THE BOTTOM 5 EVERY YEARour team is just pathetic - Its part coaching and part personnel - I think its mostly personnel - if I had to peg it, I would say about 70% personnel and 30% coaching.

I just think that as a defensive guy, he should be able to develop some players eventually but its been 7 years and who on the defensive side has been developed?

Dominique is Manufique 638 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think those men are like that. They should be fired though. Personnel on the field is an embarrassment. I can't watch it anymore. Been a fan for 30 years and I was happier in the 80s knowing Montana would torch us twice a year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Butudontseeme™ 9,932 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 God how do I hate it, but Smitty's gotta go. Don't care about TD. Smitty seems like a genuinely good dude who has worked all the magic he can. I say let him go now and let Nolan have full reign over the D to see if he needs to go too. Robiskie for interim HC.

jeffro2000 1,801 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised to see Smith try to fire Nolan or take over the defense real soon. It will be a last ditch effort for him to save his job. Not going to work but he will get desperate. House cleaning is coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

krammmit 1,365 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 One thing about the media from someone who tries to pay attention outside of ATL, you guys care more about the Bulldogs than you do your pro teams. Every time I tune into the radio there it's always college talk. I can't find actual Falcon talk unless I wait for hours for that small segment. So it's no surprise to me.

Spartakick 92 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 This team unfortunately has been built like a house of cards. Everything was holding precariously together until the playoff game vs SF in Jan 2013 now its still crashing and burning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcons Rage 772 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We are seeing the complete fruits of Mike Smith and Thomas Dimitroff at this point. This is where the process has lead us. This team is now 100 percent theirs and it turns out that they have systematically and unknowingly eliminated all possibility for this team to be competitive. Both lines suck. The defense is in total array. Depth is horrid on both side. Dimitroffs incessant trading away of draft picks and both him and smiths inability to diagnosis talent, have crippled the team for several years to come. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dzor22 196 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think the personnel on this team is not that good. However; I bet another coaching staff would come in and get more from them than we do. A lot of this is stubbornness. We do the same thing. We dont make adjustments. Someone else would get more from them. That being said; many would get cleaned out by a new regime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
