It’s been an exciting week for Falcons fans, as the team is now under the control of a new regime captained by former Saints executive Terry Fontenot at GM and former Titans OC Arthur Smith at head coach. Heading into 2021, we’re likely to see significant changes to both the offensive scheme and personnel—which would be welcome after a second-straight season of underachievement with Dirk Koetter.
Arthur Smith was arguably the hottest offensive coaching candidate on the market this year, and it’s easy to see why he was so coveted by NFL teams. Smith turned a Titans offense that was amongst the dregs of the league in 2018 into a fringe top-10 unit in 2019 and one of the league’s best in 2020.
