Only an idiot would announce a search committee for a new coach right before the ultimate division game for the playoffs.

Coach Smith, Mr. Blank wants to see you in his office early Monday morning. Bring your playbook.

I have not problem 1 with that. The only problem I have is that it did not include the GM who is that bigger problem.

Thomas is terrible in FA and drafting. I think he is a bigger problem than Smith

TD should've got the axe instead of Smith.
If you think the Falcons were bad the last two years just wait. The dark ages are coming. Rex Ryan can't succeed and no one good wants to work for Blank.

Good God,not what happened at all...nobody "announced" anything.
The story leaked out and Blank wasn't happy about it at all.

I don't understand the reasoning behind this at all. What it ( a big what if) we had won the game. The entire week ESPN, Fox Sports, etc. wouldv'e been running stories 24/7 about "sources" telling Mort/Shefter that Smith is as good as gone, etc. shite like this is the sign of piss poor management and truly a lack of respect for what Mike Smith and the current players have done for the organization.
If they were dead set on firing the guy why wait until the most important game of the season? Why not fire him after the debacle in London? Why waste any more time doing the song and dance when they already had their minds made up?
Also IF we had won, I understand that the players would have said that all their focus is on the upcoming game etc. but there is no way it would be humanly possible to tune out all the bullshite that the media would be coming at them with for the entire week. It would be a circus that Jerry Jones would have been proud to be the ring leader at. I am disgusted that Arthur Blank chose to go this route, I thought that he had more class than to pull a chicken shite stunt like this.

He's not going to sit there and say he is happy that it leaked out. I really doubt that anyone Blank trusted with this information would betray him and go to the media with something like this before the game. IMO it was an internal leak because they didn't want to look like scumbags

I'm assuming it came from the firm they contacted or another firm that did not get the
business...either way,it makes no sense at all that it would come from Blank and his inner circle.

I suppose that is a possibility, but I am a disgruntled fan and I want the streets to run with somebody's blood damnit

What route? You have no idea how and why the story got out there.

Not so sure about that; a lot of folks are saying it was actually Blank who leaked the story himself
