You nailed it! I don't think they'll ever win a ring with him as the coach. We almost let him off the hook but in typical fashion he panicked and called the on-side kick and attempted the 4th & inches. He was our MVP yesterday!
I don't think Mike Smith is a dumbazz. Against that D, they make that play 99 times out of 100. We just got lucky yesterday. My one criticism of him is the call. ALWAYS run a QB sneak when it's 4th and less than a yard. ALWAYS
You have to do a risk/benefit analysis. If he makes it he's 1st and 10 at his own 30. If he doesn't make it, game over. Survey says: Punt.
He can coach but I don't think he can handle pressure. He has melted down many times when games are on the line. I think his judgement gets clouded...maybe because he/Atlanta haven't been there before. I like Atlanta. Let me rephrase...I like Atlanta because their history/legacy is even worse than ours. At least we have a SB trophy!
