Arthur Smith, Terry Fontenot vow accountability and flexibility will be Falcons hallmarks

The Falcons went into the 2020 season betting on continuity, and that bet failed. As shrewd as Thomas Dimitroff could be and often was, and as well-liked and respected as Dan Quinn was inside the locker room and outside of it, the duo made lofty promises for the past season after Blank surprisingly decided to retain them following two straight losing seasons. After an 0-5 start, the duo had delivered one stupendous season, one brief but fun playoff run, and about 3.3 disappointing seasons by the time Arthur Blank finally pulled the plug, and Atlanta wound up wasting yet another season waiting for things that didn’t work to start working.
