Im rarely a fan of firing a coach after just one season. But I feel like this was less about scheme and play calling, and more about how players responded to Lake. I think this was also a PR move. I think Robert Saleh would be interesting choice, but im pretty sure he'll be a head coach again soon.
Expected move. If Rah wants to remain as coach for years to come he had make this difficult call and fire his friend. As an organization wanting to keep the fans support this was a must do move. All season, we have watched the D regress from 2023. To me it actually shows ambitions 2025.
I expect Jeff Ulbrich since there is nobody more familiar to the falcons defense than Jeff Ulbrich and until they think outside the box, Atlanta is going to keep hiring retrend coordinators. I am good with Dennis Allen since he knows the division so Atlanta can “outrun the south”, his dad was a former falcon and this time I expect a veteran DC so Raheem does not take command like he did with Jimmy Lake. Steve Wilks is another good candidate. (Saleh is going to San Francisco so stop with that nonsense.)
I think we see a free agency similar to a couple of seasons ago when Terry brought in Jessie Kaden DO Jeff Calais and Bud. That was far from complacent btw. Last season was about offense. It will shift this offseason.
Sure you can find better. What is funny is that all the self-proclaimed experts want people who either have jobs or would never come to the Falcons. They do it every time. They should have offered Ryan Nielsen the job before he quit.
Man. I thought you was finna rhythm "Ding Dong the Which is dead" with something. We are thinking bout firing you too, man. You are now on he Hot Seat.
He just the scapegoat goat for Shanahan failure to win in the big game. 49ers lost because of Shanahan play calling just like he did with the Falcons. He brought in his buddy, and the defense went from top 10 to almost last in the league.
Not anyone we've had before, just like Raheem that would feel like standing in place. Someone with a proven record. This coaching staff seems like Fontenot hiring his pals instead of what would benefit the team. Maybe we need to look for a new GM. I would also like a defensive over haul and get rid of the non tackling posers and get players that want to excel.
Pretty good unfortunate that he got hurt before preseason but seeing how he was in Arizona had me hype. having a guy that can take the top off down the numbers or killing it across the middle in the slot would def add definition to the offense
So we wasted a season because head coach wouldn't just run defense in first year? Raheem should reimburse me on my season tickets...8 yes no playoffs for me. But I'm done now
I would love to bring back Ryan Nielson!
Why
We need new faces
I didn’t want to get rid of him. I felt like he did a great job
Ryan Nielsen had the d-line playing violent.
I'd rather get Dean Pees back me personally.
We don’t have the defensive tackles or LB core to run a successful 3-4.. we need ton go back to a 4-3

Dennis Allen as DC and Ryan Nielsen as DL / Assistant DC.
Wilks is my pick
Anybody is better than Lake was.

I have no Faith In the falcons getting this right

We need Robert Saleh
Negative. He will be a head coach somewhere. It Would be a power move though.
We don't need Saleh we don't have the defensive front for his scheme

They did try to hold on to him but he wanted to be released after Art got fired. Firing smith was that domino affect.
@@dawgsrule88 That does not make sense.
@@gatroy13It does make sense lmao, Nielsen was a part of Smith's staff, if Smith leaves then he will leave
Man. I thought you was finna rhythm "Ding Dong the Which is dead" with something. We are thinking bout firing you too, man. You are now on he Hot Seat.
Steve wilkes got fired as the 49ers coordinator
He just the scapegoat goat for Shanahan failure to win in the big game. 49ers lost because of Shanahan play calling just like he did with the Falcons. He brought in his buddy, and the defense went from top 10 to almost last in the league.
@ thanks for the info man. I think wilks would be a solid hire.
Hopefully Falcons can finally get another athletic LB. Ellis is best as a moving piece. Troy I like but has had major injuries 2 seasons in a row.

One minute and 23 seconds of introductions. Why? 😐
Exactly why every single episode I just go to 1:30
I want dennis allen
They should fire Morris along with Lake!
If we hire Jeff Ulbrich I'm convinced Raheem just wants to be fired himself
They let u down a lot..
Free, we already know. D-line and linebacker. Period
How do you guys think Rondale Moore will fit in this offense next season?
I hope we can keep most of the WR core we have, (Maybe deal Pitts) not sure how their contracts all are going to work.

The Lake Front is over!
No Aaron Donald on our line
Get rid of head coach
Somebody got Dean Pees phone number😅??
Damn if only we had not benched Cousins we would be going to the divisional round right now.
Bro have you washed that hoodie? 😂
Watch the falcons win their 1st Superbowl and many more they getting everything together watch 🤍🖤♥️
