He took us out a **** hole in 2008 and keep on winning. he wasnt great but he was very good at fundamental NFL football. His downfall was a bad GM, TD. Not much help and probably turn on him when things went bad. Remember the team loved him too, but still got fired. Interesting! Yepper! TD was able to make him the scapegoat, indeed!

Realsurfin 1,140 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I would take another Dan Reeves at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B_Lo_Touchdowns 4,740 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Smitty is the best coach. Reeves is 2nd, Mora 3rd the other 2 never should have been hired Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NCFalconfan 9,646 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Atlanta was a smart football team when Smith was at the helm. Not a great coach by any means but solid enough to rank 1st in that list. Quinn is the worst coach I've ever seen. Imagine the guys record with a QB who posted just average passing yards.

Club212 308 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Smitty, at least you saw his anger, he had balls, his OL didn't, they could never get that 1 yard push (funny, they still don't) kept team from giving up penalties! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Precyse 1,710 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Smith had us in the Playoffs every year. Just two bad we would turn into the Bengals when we got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
autigerfan 806 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've got to admit it would be interesting to see what Petrino would do with the firepower we have now. FalconJim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpg428gggg 1,671 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1. Pre Super Bowl Quinn 2. Smitty 3. Post Super Bowl Quinn 4. Mora 5. Petrino Let’s not kid ourselves. Quinn was a top 10 coach the season we went to the Super Bowl. He assembled an all star coaching staff and let them do their thing. Let’s not forget that Shannahan was respected but he wasn’t a slam dunk hire like he is thought of now. Give Quinn credit for seeing his coaching ability. Our defense was humming in the playoffs and shut down Rodgers and Wilson. Made Brady uncomfortable for 3 quarters. I think the Super Bowl ruined him and he needs to start over. Smitty was the perfect coach after Petrino. Really built a great foundation after years of sucking. We were never the most talented but we were a team that never beat ourselves. We were consistently a very good team. Mora was a glorified cheerleader and Petrino is scum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RetroRoq 501 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I think Smitty is the best of them all by far and its interesting how as time passes he is becoming probably the favorite falcon coach of all time. Mora deserves the scorn, but it had to be really difficult to trying to play with a QB who wouldnt prepare. Knowing that football is first and foremost a team game, his teams did really well in a tough NFC South. And really there was no recourse for Mora, it was Vicks owner, it was Vicks GM, it was Vicks city, it was Vicks NFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was too chummy with his players as a whole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh your're right, lets see how he did before atlanta while in NY...oh , oh no, he drove that franchise into the ground by going from an 11 win team to a 5 win team...Yeah no, Reeves was bad bad.

Wrong again. Reeves actually took a giants team that was 6-10 the year before and led them to 11-5 his first year as their HC. Won AP Coach of Year. https://www.giants.com/video/season-recap-1993-new-york-giants-dan-reeves-phil-simms RetroRoq 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skeetbird 1,859 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Y'all done forgot poor Marion Campell and Doug Henning? LOL Anyway, I'd take Leeman Bennett over this clown at this point. Heck, Glanville would at least be entertaining. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconJim 1,790 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Smitty would be my choice! If I'm not mistaken, he's the winningest Coach The Falcons have ever had. Wonder what he's doing now? Oh, never mind --- 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
