It’s been rumored for a couple of days that Titans offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is the man for the head coaching job in Atlanta. Now, it is official… the Falcons have an offer on the table.
As we wait to see if Arthur Smith officially takes the job in Atlanta, among all OCs in the last 20 seasons, Arthur Smith offenses ranked 1st in red zone efficiency, 2nd in yards per play, and 4th in scoring.

Smith’s first season as OC showcased the highest-scoring offense in Tennessee in 16 years. His offensive scheme relies on a strong run game to unlock the receivers, freeing the QB to pick apart defenses with play-action passes. Smith utilizes creative motions and player spacing to confuse opposing teams. The Titans’ run-heavy offense, powered by bruising RB Derrick Henry and QB Ryan Tannehill, is a system that may work well for Matt Ryan. I know what you are thinking, “Ito Smith and Todd Gurley aren’t capable of producing that kind of run game.”
We will keep you updated as the story develops today.
