Quote:Gus said very much the same thing when he was hired. (in fact many coaches are quoted saying some version of this Smith quote) but it's a question of actually getting it done.


Smith has a better track record where that is concerned. He's still a mid-tier guy on my (still being assembled) list of possible coaches. But he'd likely do better with this roster than what we've seen the past two weeks.

Yeah to be fair that quite is fairly standard coach speak.


Looking back at his Falcons teams, he basically let Dirk Koetter do his own thing on offense. On defense he ran his standard vanilla 4-3 with limited pass rushing but eventually altered it to more of 3-4 with bad results. Also his time management was disastrous.


Seems to me like a good figurehead to have but needs strong coordinators to have success.
