He had a pass happy offense then, with the right tools in place. If you put Jacksonville and Arizona together that would be a pretty sound and strong offense. The question is, can Atlanta be the place where he puts it all together. We will have to wait and see, I don't want Smith to get the sack because of this, hopefully it plays out to be a greater move than it looks right now. This signing is as exciting as a straight faced orgasm.

Good points. Also, just saw this tweet from Mortensen:

Chris Mortensen
Mike McCarthy, 31st offense with 4-12 49ers and those Packers made an unpopular hire - always a lesson on overreaction. #proceedwithcaution

This hire really fucking challenges me as a fan. Dude hasn't really had any notable success anywhere. How in the hell am I supposed to get behind that?

I think you also have to remember he was released by the Packers, moved around to KC/New Orleans then the 49ers, then went back to Greenbay.

I'll just hope that Smith and TD are expecting major (positive) changes from this guy.

Picking Koetter over Schottenheimer, I believe, was a nod by Atl to developing Ryan and the downfield passing game.

i wonder if coach smith just signed his separation notice. i have the same gut feeling with this announcement that i did when MM was hired. and it's not a good one.

but he's one of us now, all we can do is hope, and cheer him on.

I was expecting something more. Will see how "Aggressive" we will be this offseason.....

Despite #Jaguars horrible year, Dirk Koetter is a good coach. I expect him to do well w #Falcons and Matt Ryan.

This is why i feel like you cant judge a OC that had no talent... A guy that covers the Jags thinks he is a good coach

Does anyone know how to pronounce his name?

Koter?
Ketter?
Ko - etter?
Kwetter? Omg I hope it's not this one. Sounds like quitter. LOL!
