Re: source Adam Benigni reports that Bills will interview Smith
I live in Atlanta and can tell you that Smith's biggest problem was the GM not retaining talent in the trenches and protection, but instead spending money on sexy position roles-players like a washed up Jackson, signing an unnecessary Devin Hester, tempting Gonzalez away from retirement and trading draft picks for Julio Jones when depth and lineman were greatly needed. The oline was incredibly porous and the dline had zero pass rush. Matt Ryan scrambled more this season than any other and Matt Ryan shouldn't have to scramble. The defense couldnt stop anything and was one of the worst in the league this year.
Demitroff (GM) should have been fired too but many believe that McDaniels is the Falcons primary target and firing Demitroff now would sour any opportunity of getting McDaniels. They are buddies.
My issues with Smith: he's a really mousey guy and reminds me of Dick Juaron personality wise. He was also heavily criticized for some really poor clock management this season. Cost him at least two games.
I do think if he has the right talent and depth on offense he would excel but the Bills would also need to retain Schwartz to shore up continuity on defense.

His record in regular season is 66-45 and 1-4 in the post season. In 7 seasons he has had the Falcons division champs twice - 2nd in the division 3 times and 3rd the last two seasons (coming up 1 game shy of division champs again in week 17 against the Panthers just this year).

He is a MEDIOCRE HC.
