Atlanta needs to aim high and throw deep in its head coaching search

At long last, the Atlanta Falcons have the chance to escape the blast radius of 28-3.

You know the backstory here. Super Bowl LI, 2017. Just minutes away from winning the first Super Bowl in their half-century-long history, the Atlanta Falcons committed every sin, mistake, miscue and misfire imaginable, and the New England Patriots took maximum advantage. The Falcons became a rallying cry in the worst possible way. No matter how dark the prospects, no matter how long the odds, remember 28-3.

Rival teams gloat about it every chance they get; anyone with an Atlanta affinity is advised to stay off Twitter every March 28.
