Too bad Geoff Collins took the NC DC position

Geoff would be a great replacement to bring fans back to the Benz with his ATL culture

Perhaps the Falcons will rehire Mike Smith so they can turn around and fire him an hour later. That idiot hasn't suffered enough for losing the way he lost the Superbowl.

Dan Quinn was the HC of that Super Bowl team.

Kirby gets 10 top 100 picks (maybe more) every year.

He ain’t leaving for the Falcons where you get 7 picks and maybe 3-5 free agents.

I would like to see Blank hire a HC with some NFL HC experience. None of his hires have had any HC experience and I think that has been part of the problem.

Kirby would be a fool to leave GA for the Falcons. I understand the whole ego thing of coaching in the NFL. but he is coaching a top tier program and he also has the luxury of seeing what happened to Saban when he went to the NFL.
The only reason I could think he would possibly entertain the idea would be that he would have more time with his family. NFL coachs have more time during the off season than college coaches who have really no off season.

Good. Maybe I'll draft Bijan next year. Absolutely criminal how they used him and Pitts.


Spoken like a true fantasy manager who doesn’t actually know what’s going on.

Bijan finished 12th in the NFL in total touches this season while basically missing two games

Pitts had the 3rd most targets on the team behind London & Bijan.

Not sure why people pretend the Falcons were running their offense through Khadarel Hodge or something

Nah, Sark maybe. He isn’t that far removed from the NFL and may want another bite at the apple.

Pretty sure his ego is satisfied leading GA to Natty's not losing just about every other game in the NFC South

A la Nick Saban with the dolphins

Pitts had over a 1000 yard season his rookie year and has been worse each year since.

London's advanced stats are off the charts, but his raw stats are crap. That generally means someone isn't using him enough or correctly.

There were games where Bijan was hardly used, yet they spent first round draft capital on him, which most would say is stupid in today's NFL.

Think a bit more on this.
