The decision was made during a meeting held on Monday night. In addition to the firing news, another surprising development related to Smith seemed no less than a shocker.

A tweet stated the Falcons would pay him $17,000 each day. The post reads, “The Atlanta Falcons will pay Authur Smith $17,000 a day not to be a head coach.” As soon as the post was published, it caused a stir on the internet. One fan showed his interest in becoming a coach as he said, “I want to be a shitty coach,” emphasizing his desire to be eligible for this hefty amount. Moreover, an update by Sleeper NFL revealed that this impressive offer is valid for the next three years.

Arthur Smith’s journey with the Falcons was no less than a roller-coaster ride. Throughout Smith’s tenure, the squad never won more than two games in a row. Moreover, the back-to-back losses make it even harder for the head coach to stay. Smith’s career was a question mark since his squad’s poor performance in Week 15 of the season, where the Falcons suffered a defeat against the Carolina Panthers. Under Smith’s leadership, seasoned quarterbacks like Matt Ryan faced challenges. During his last season, the head coach went with Desmond Rider as a starter QB, but he faced difficulty with his turnovers. Meanwhile, following Smith’s dismissal, the Falcons are searching for a new head coach.
