How'd that Bobby Petrino hire work out?

I mean i agree the Falcons have been better run and coached than the Rams during the Linehan/Spags/Fisher years but that's a pretty low bar.

I don't think it's real smart to put a defensive guy as HC, especially if he's not fielding top notch defenses. He has to rely on hiring good OCs and when he does find one, he'll lose him pretty quick to a HC gig like with Shanahan. They have a new OC practically every year in Atlanta since Quinn has been HC. Quinn hired Steve Sarkisian for cripes' sake.

It's not a great formula for winning IMO and, again, Quinn hasn't been fielding very good defenses his 5 years as Falcons HC which makes you wonder exactly what he's bringing to the table...

Hard to call either of them "smart" when they're 13-18 the last 2 years with 1 game remaining.

Kroenke's first hire as sole owner was Fisher. Though he was a numbskull, his Rams were markedly better than Linehan's and Spagnuolo's. His second hire was Sean McVay so I'd say, under Kroenke, the Rams were run much better than GF or her kids.

Well yeah. Georgia didn't know what planet she was on and her kids weren't interested in sports at all.

This is true but Georgia hired John Robinson and Dick Vermeil, broken clock and all that but we did win our only SB while she was at the reins...
