The Atlanta Falcons hired Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Smith as the team's new head coach on Wednesday evening.
The two sides worked late Wednesday to finalize a contract, and the goal was to introduce Smith as the successor to Bobby Petrino at a Thursday news conference. The team did not release contract details, but the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Wednesday night that the deal is for four years worth between $8 million and $10 million.
Think this is wrong direction for Falcons and they need an offensive person to correct their problems. $2 million seems about par for a first time head coach.
