Did Falcons move too fast on a head coach?
February 4, 2008 at 2:00 pm by Scott Freeman in SportsSeeing as how the New York Giants completely shut down the New England Patriots’ offensive juggernaut last night, I wonder if there’s any regret up in Flowery Branch that the Falcons decided not to wait until after the Super Bowl to select a new head coach.
After all, the front-runner for the Falcons job at one time was the man who devised the strategy for the Giants defense: defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Rather than postpone a decision until after the Super Bowl so they could interview Spagnuolo, the Falcons moved ahead and hired Mike Smith from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Spagnuolo sure looks like hot property now. Just sayin’.
