Falcons Owner Arthur Blank Is Demanding A Super Bowl Title For Atlanta

The Falcons are entering into a new phase under general manager Thomas Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith. Let’s just call it the “Makeover, Part Two.” Since arriving in 2008, the two have worked together to turnaround the fortunes of the franchise trying to rebound from the Michael Vick era and Bobby Petrino leaving them at the altar. They have enjoyed unprecedented success, but Falcons owner Arthur Blank, pointing to three losses in the playoffs, is demanding more. “Our goal is to win rings, to get championships and eventually win a Super Bowl for this community,” Blank said Wednesday at a news conference in Buckhead. “That’s our goal.” Dimitroff and Smith have crafted four consecutive winning seasons and three trips to the playoffs, while breaking in a quarterback in Phase 1 of the Falcons’ makeover. Now, the challenge, as Matt Ryan continues to grow, is to push the team to elite status in the NFL and bring the Vince Lombardi trophy to Atlanta for the first time. “We know that we need to get better in many, many areas,” Dimitroff said. “It is my job to make sure that I step back with Coach Smith and obviously, Mr. Blank, and look at all aspects of the football operations and determine where we need to make changes and where we need to adjust going forward.”

No he doesn't. Unless the new OC will actually go out on the field and run and block. The problem is in the coaching dept. They have good players and should do better in the playoffs than they do. 13 game winner and #1 seed last year and one and done. Same one and done this year. It kills me to say good things about the falcons. But I am being objective here.

if schottenheimer is being hired as their oc, then, to me, this is just another black mark on Mike Smith and his ability to be a successful head coach. I don't think the guy assembles a good coaching staff and I question his game management skills.

i think if blank is demanding a super bowl, the first step to getting there may be to bring in a new head coach.
