I think a story is what they were looking for with Bill Parcells and after he left in three years, then what? What Arthur Blank and new GM Thomas Dimitroff needed to do was stop worrying about the press conferences and start concentrating on the gridiron. You get the fans and good publicity back by winning football games - not hiring the flashy name to drum up interest. Mike Ditka would have been a nice headline, but when the Falcons went 3-13 under him, what does that solve? Once again they would be a joke. Who knows if Smith was the right hire, but it sounds like (other than what Wiley said) he knows football more than he knows about talking to the press. Believe it or not, the Falcons needed to make this kind of hire; stay out of the headlines and concentrate on football again.

I thought they were waiting for the Giants run to be over and get their coordinator? It really is a hard Team to root for anymore, not that we do here in Tampa. But really, they have had nothing but issues for the last few years and I don't see anything on the Horizon to trun this ship around. The Parcells loss was painful and they really needed somebody like that to take away the Vick story. I think they should bring Mike Ditka back. That would cause some interest....or something... My God don't hire another faceless person. Who? I thought they were waiting for the Giants run to be over and get their coordinator?
