Falcons: Dirk Koetter

[Anomaly]

Quote:*Dirk Koetter very well could have had an NFL head coaching job this go-round (the Browns, Chiefs and Eagles were interested), but he decided his situation in Atlanta was too good to leave at this point, and he went to the Falcons to tell them so. He subsequently was given a nice raise, and now is believed to be among the highest paid offensive assistants in the league with an annual salary of close to $2 million.

He goes from the fans bitching and moaning about being a horrible hire to one of the top paid assistants in the NFL. Gotta love it.

So so so so so glad DK is going to stay with Falcons!!! I look for 2013 offense to be even better.

He has without a doubt made this entire offense better. I don't even think we've seen all the chains and gears to his offense yet. Soon fellas, soon.

The only cog missing is the more productive run game. If we have that element working better for us then this offense would take to a whole new level. It hasn't got to be the work horse of the offense. It should be a productive element. The reverse of the Texans. Really productive ground game with a passing game that ticks over. We should have the really productive passing game with the ground game steadily ticking over.

This I think is a bigger deal than most would think.....I don't think you just decide to stay unless there is something really special.....the kind of thing that leads to multiple superbowls........

I think him coming back to the Falcons and saying there is something special here and I don't want another team right now....I think that speaks volumes to his and our teams character.

Love it, exactly what I like to hear - he wants to be part of the team (a very important part at that).

Now we just need to do the same for Nolan and let the dynasty begin in earnest :-)

I was one of the very few that were positive and supportive of the Koetter higher.

Me as well. He was talented but never had talent to work with. Enter Ryan and our offense, then boom, huge year.

I'll admit, I was up in the air about the Koetter hire. There were no coordinators I really wanted at the time. Now, I think it was a great hire, but at the time, I was unsure.

Doesn't mean a thing if they don't come out blazing tomorrow
