New Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith is one of seven head coaches getting their first opportunity in 2021 to be an NFL head coach. He is joined by Brandon Staley (Chargers), Robert Saleh (Jets), Nick Sirianni (Eagles), Dan Campbell (Lions), Urban Meyer (Jaguars), and David Culley (Texans).
It’s been a little more than four months since the Atlanta Falcons announced Smith as their head coach and so far, he has passed the few minor tests that have come his way – most importantly, he does not hit us with dumb coaching clichés to make anyone feel better.
