Arthur Smith made headlines for more reasons than just taking coach Dennis Allen of the New Orleans Saints head-on. Following the loss, Arthur Blank’s Atlanta Falcons organization made a quick choice. They needed to fire the head coach and look for a replacement in the offseason. But, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, they decided against moving forward with the decision without first issuing a statement outlining their reasoning.
These kinds of decisions are seldom simple or enjoyable. We value Coach Smith greatly and are grateful for all of his efforts and commitment to the Falcons during the past three seasons. Although he has contributed to our football team’s positive culture development, the outcomes have fallen short of our expectations. We have concluded that new leadership in the head coaching role is the best course of action for our team after giving it careful consideration. remarked Arthur Blank regarding the Falcons decision to fire their head coach.
Arthur Smith was a losing player for the three years he was in the Falcons system. The team’s seven victories and ten defeats following a defeat to Dennis Allen’s Saints were a dead giveaway that something was wrong. Additionally, some fans felt that Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts were being misused in the rotational calls.
Numerous applicants will vie for the position with the Falcons. Some of them, like Jim Harbaugh, might not even be in the league. Hopefully, they’ll be able to match.
