Quote:He's not the perfect head coach. But I think he's a leader of men and doesn't have a history of blowing up a locker room like McDaniels has... McDaniels blew up the entire bronco team because of his egomaniacal tendancies. I'm not sure if you lean towards McDaniels, but I just wanted to point that out.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but Smith was the head coach during the Falcon meltdown because of a dog fighting ring by the beloved QB. I think that has to be worth something. The dude knows how to manage a team. And he did a great job of adjusting his philosophy to the talent he had.


Maybe I'm mis-remembering this... So I'm not saying I completely know. But that is my memory of the Mike Smith time during the early years at Atlanta.
