I was holding off on writing a post on the Falcons until I could completely gather my thoughts. But before I even had a handle on what I thought of the Falcons disastrous showing in their one lowly playoff game???and what I???d like to see them do next???I find out that they???ve hired a new OC in the form of Dirk Koetter from the Jags. The mere thought that someone who coached that Greek tragedy the Jaguars call an offense would go anywhere near my precious Falcons caused me to panic immediately.

Wait, let???s go back. I actually had already began to panic when Brian Schottenheimer of 59-passes-for-Mark-Sanchez-in-one-game fame was mentioned as a frontrunner. AJC???s Jeff Schultz must have received a lot of panicked feedback from readers when he posted on Schotty because he mentioned to me on twitter that my reaction of ???PLEASE GOD NO??? had been the standard response. Thankfully, the Rams took Schottenheimer out of the running by adding him to their staff of apparent rejects. But even so, Schultz wasn???t as panicked as the rest of us when it came to Schotty. He did, however, share my disbelief about Koetter.
