It’s been a tough few years for the Atlanta Falcons, and it looks like the team is making a change. On Tuesday, the team announced that they have fired head coach Arthur Smith after three consecutive 7-10 seasons.
Smith was hired in 2021 to replace Dan Quinn, who had been with the team since 2015. Smith had previously been the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans and was known for his innovative offensive schemes. He was expected to bring a fresh perspective to the Falcons, but unfortunately, the team failed to make the playoffs in any of his three seasons as head coach.
The Falcons have not had a winning season since 2016, and Smith’s firing is the latest in a series of changes that the team has made in an effort to turn things around. The team has also brought in a new general manager, Terry Fontenot, who is expected to bring a new approach to the organization.
It remains to be seen what direction the Falcons will take next, but it’s clear that they are looking for a new leader to help them get back on track. With the NFL Draft coming up, the Falcons will have plenty of opportunities to find their next head coach. It will be interesting to see who they choose and how they can turn things around in Atlanta.
