Falcons hire Arthur Smith as HC

Saquads26 : 1/15/2021 4:53 pm
The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms with Tennessee Titans OC Arthur Smith to become their next head coach, the team announced.
He just looks like a guy

No. This guy.

The "Arthur" joke must have really went a long way

He did a great job

With Tennessee’s offense. He also help revitalize Tannehill’s career. It’s a good hire.
Just read where Smith's father is...

Frederick Smith, founder of FedEx.
This would seem to indicate a philosophical shift

for the Falcons to a run first offense. Major upcoming decisions regarding Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and their large contracts. Could they be hoping an Alabama running back makes it to their pick in the second round?

Thought I heard on the radio he was set to or had inherited $500 million. Crazy
Surprised to see so many doubters on here

This is a fantastic hire IMO and as a Nashvillian I'm sad to see him go.

He's been the Titans OC for 2 years now and Derrick Henry has won back-to-back rushing titles including 2000+ rushing yards this season. I don't know if y'all remember 2018 and prior (I do because I watch all of the Titans games), Henry was just about considered a bust and a guy who didn't know how to use his massive size to his advantage. The Titans run game has taken off the last couple years.

And on top of that look at what Ryan Tannehill has done. He was also considered a bust when he left Miami. Since he took over for Mariota last year he has a 55:13 TD:INT ratio and a 110+ passer rating. He looks like a real pro QB who can win games (and he has won games including taking the Titans to the AFCCG last year).

Vrabel gets all the credit for the Titans' success the last couple years, and he does with good reason, but Smith also deserves a ton of credit.

Seems a bit low with the father worth $5B+... ;)

That's because they are talking out their asses.

Typical bbi, arrogantly expressing strong opinions about things that they have little to no knowledge of.
Whose brother Cannon Smith who married Collins Tuohy  
glowrider : 1/16/2021 2:15 am : link
Collins Tuohy has an adopted brother...Michael Oher - the ostensible subject of, “The Blind Side.”

Didn’t know this coach, but remember the fedex connection in the book. I guess they’re brothers in law.
