Let the scapegoating begin
Falcons defensive coordinator Richard Smith and defensive line coach Bryan Cox have been fired by the Atlanta Falcons, according to the team.
Smith, a veteran coach, may stay on in an advisory capacity, but assessing his options.
The Falcons are considering three internal candidates in secondary coordinator Jerome Henderson, defensive backs coach Marquand Manuel and linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich.
The Falcons pointed out that the decision to dismiss Smith and Cox was not based on the defense’s collapse in the Super Bowl.

Of course it had nothing to do with being outscored 31 - 0 after going up 28-3 in the third quarter
