Arthur Smith is the new head coach of the Falcons. He’s the first offensively-inclined head coach in a long time, and he’ll be tasked with getting the Falcons back to being one of the league’s most effective offenses.
Smith was hired because of the work he did with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, as both took off while he was the offensive coordinator with the Titans. His offenses the past two years were noteworthy for their efficiency—especially in the passing game—and red zone performance. Smith and company also get credit for overcoming the loss of Taylor Lewan and still putting together a terrific offense, which makes me hope he’ll take some of his Tennessee staff with him.
