FLOWERY BRANCH -- Falcons coach Mike Smith will be awarded a contract extension as the team's first order of business this offseason, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Obviously this was going to happen, but I wonder how much he will get. He obviously deserves what we give him, as he is one of the main keys to our success. New England's Bill Belichick ($7.5 million annually), Washington's Mike Shanahan ($7 million), Seattle's Pete Carroll ($7 million) and Tennessee's Jeff Fisher ($5.75 million) are the league's top-paid head coaches, according to Forbes Magazine, I wonder if he'll get near that?

As long as he doesn't punt again, sign him up

I bet whatever the final numbers are, there will be people on this board that say that we overpaid for him. Tongue

It's all about consistency...this team is only going to get better with Dimitroff and Smitty making the decisions.

Numbers would have to be really outrageous to overpay smith and TD IMO

Wow Shanahan and Carroll make 7 million. Money well spent.
