Dirk Koetter Fired

[Sidecar Falcon 5,720]

Bring him....

Nah just playing, he’s trash. Lol

[A Dog Named Brian 2,553]

No

[1989Fan 8,384]

Didn’t TB have the top offense in the NFL this year?

[lymond 107]

I'd take Koetter back at OC in a heartbeat.  He is not a trash OC by any means.

[The O.D.B 4,079]

so is Matt a coach killer or a coach promoter? Several opposing coaches have fallen after playing Matt and, several have been promoted after working with Matt....

13th in scoring. Atlanta had 11th, and Sark may be gone. 

[socalriseup 2,025]

Not a bad oc but dont want to switch back to that scheme

[lymond 107]

I liked that scheme a lot myself.  And Koetter will have much better talent to work with.

[Statick 11,504]

Not saying that I'd want Koetter back in the ATL, but I'd take any OC with actual NFL experience/success over a college OC anytime. 

[Osiruz 7,930]

Hes a better Sark, still hasnt learned to have a top flight rushing attack.

The coach killer is the one who steals crab legs.

well fk man, maybe you could let him know?

[Wjcorner 3,189]

We actually have a pretty similar offense compared to 2012. Hooper ain’t the redzone threat TG was but Julio is more dominant, and Ridley ain’t no Roddy or sophomore Julio but who knows how much he’ll improve next year. Idk, could be a possibility if they wanted change but wanted to keep some level of continuity

[Knight of God 46,763]

No thanks. I hate his system 

[Brewcrew 2,626]

I’d rather keep continuity with Sark than rehash DK.  Ryan just had one of the best seasons of his career.  If we can get the guards situated to help get the run game going the offense will be fine.

Sark has 2 years NFL experience with post season experience to boot

Sorry, that's not enough.

How much is enough and in what capacity?

[Phillup11 81]

Dirk Koetter is predictable.  Its all passing attack with him.  We won't have a run game and as a result, no PA passes.  That is what had our offense using creativity and being unpredictable with Shanahan.  Folks say Sark isn't creative and is predictable, but if switching to Koetters scheme will have us the that same hole as we will be one-dimensional with a Oline thats not so great.  

[Brewcrew 2,626]

Looks like Todd Bowles is out in NY, too.

My son talked with Matt after the game and pointed out that Smitty got canned mid-season, one day after losing to the Falcons.  Then he noted that Matt had probably just driven the last nail into Dirk Koetter's coffin.  He asked, jokingly, how Matt could sleep at night with that knowledge.

Matt's reply - "It's not that hard."

You know what’s crazy? The Falcons ended up being two plays away from the playoffs. Score at the end in Philly and get a stop at the end against Cincinnati, and the Falcons are 9-7, in over the 8-8 Eagles.

I don’t, but I hate it for this team. 

Its Martz 2.0. It works with the right personnel. The problem (as Martz and Koetter both have learned) is it’s not nearly as good without it.
