Falcons Hire Titans Offensive Coordinator Arthur Smith as New Head Coach

The Falcons have agreed to terms with Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith to become the team's new head coach, the organization announced Friday.

Smith, 38, had been part of the Titans organization since he was hired as a defensive quality control coach in 2011. After holding multiple positions, Smith was eventually promoted to offensive coordinator in January 2019 after Matt LaFleur was hired by the Packers.

Atlanta fired former head coach Dan Quinn in October following the team's 0-5 start. The Falcons finished the season with a 4-12 record under defensive coordinator and interim coach Raheem Morris.
