The Atlanta Falcons parted ways with GM Thomas Dimitroff after 13 years at the helm
Atlanta Falcons team president and CEO Rich McKay will take over football operations in the immediate future. McKay previously held the role of GM from 2003 until 2008 but there’s no indication that he’s either considering or being considered for the role permanently and should return to his usual duties once a replacement is found.
Dimitroff had a largely successful spell in Atlanta but, in the end, was unable to bring the franchise the Super Bowl that Arthur Blank was hoping for.
