  2. Wow! I figured they’d wait until tomorrow but tonight right before I went to bed is even better!

  8. The last time I was this happy at the stroke of midnight, there was a kick missed wide left.

  9. Firing Arthur Smith ain’t enough they gotta take away the 10% share of FedEx that Arthur Blank obviously obtained for hiring the trust fund baby

  11. Literally 12:01 Eastern on Black Monday they fired him. Barely waited a full minute. Hilarious

  15. I have Bijan in fantasy and man am I so happy Arthur Smith is fired. Fuck you Arthur for wasting London, Pitts, and Bijan. I’M HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS

    EDIT: I lurked in here all year as a Steelers fan, never hated someone in football more than Matt Canada and Canada sucked

  21. BWHAHAHAHA!!!!

    I just gained a ton of respect for Blank. Didn’t even give this chinless wonder until business hours on Monday.

    Pack your fuckin’ shit and get the fuck out.

    This franchise actually has a chance to win again, thank God.

  22. Peaceful commies fan here who was hoping this would happen:

    1) congratulations, I love this and I love that they literally waited until 12:01 am Monday. I’m glad you guys can be happy for as long as possible

    2) this should be pinned

    3) Send hopes that Rivera joins him before 12 am Tuesday, because uh… Rivera deserves it, too.

  23. 12:01 is savage. Arthur Blank wasn’t nearly as torn as insiders were reporting. Let’s fucking go!!

  24. Good Riddance. I hated this hire from the start, this piece of shit has set our franchise back years. I will never forgive this dumbass for selecting an overrated TE with the 4th overall pick in what has turned out to be a stacked draft. I said from the start that the Falcons would never amount to anything with him leading the charge. This idiot was always a dogshit play caller who just rode the coattails of Derek Henry. I still can’t believe we hired him before we even hired a GM, why would you not want your GM to have a say in the hire? That way they can work together to build a team instead of having one incompetent moron have all the power. Fuck Arthur Smith. I finally feel vindicated.

  25. I know it’s the falcons but honestly I feel like they outta be a fairly attractive job for the head coaching candidates. All the young offensive guys are still really talented, just previously miss-used. Decent foundation on defense too. Will be interesting to see what happens.

  26. (Lions fan) Congrats on getting Ben Johnson, he’s gonna be dope as hell with those weapons

    (should prolly get a QB tho)

  29. Should be interesting to see who we go for. I hate seeing Nielsen leave, he should at least get an interview.
