Chad Morris anyone? And to the asshole wanting Harbaugh at ATL, Smith isn't going anywhere.
Arthur didn't build HD into what it is by settling for things being average. I called 8-8 or 7-9 for the Falcons before the season and nothing has changed my mind. I believe that the coach and the GM are on their way out and the Atlanta pro sports teams will have three new GM's within a twelve month period.
you are a genius, man. you "called it." good job.
atlanta sports has always been average except for a short period for the Braves, suddenly things are gonna change? ok, whatever
atlanta sports fans are at best average. they dont deserve anything better than average teams
Really? 14 consecutive post season appearances make up a "short period"?
Atlanta sports fans have been have been bludgeoned for decades by dismal, not mediocre, but awful performances with the exception of the Braves noted above. I submit it's been the teams' performances that's created an "average" fan and the fans do deserve better.
14 years, in comparison to over 100 years of baseball, is indeed a "short period". also, how many World Series rings did those 14 years produce??
many cities have bad teams but still have good fans, so you blaming the teams is pretty weak, and exactly the kind of "fair-weather," average fandom i am talking about
like i said, average. you make my point for me
If you think the Falcons, Hawks, Braves (despite being above average) as well as GT (as much as I hate it) records didn't have a strong influence on Atlanta fans' behavior, you are strongly prejudiced in denial.
