Today’s NFL is feast or famine for offensive play callers and the Atlanta Falcons are front and center of this problem. If you aren’t putting up numbers like the Chiefs or Rams, fans and owners start getting a little antsy.
While the new rule changes benefit offense’s, as well as unique schemes introduced from the college game, offensive coordinators have less room for error. Such was the case for former Atlanta Falcons OC Steve Sarkisian, which in my opinion was a bad fire (save that for a later article). On a brighter note, it serves as a perfect example for the short leash that OC’s have these days.
