Smith gets extension
Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith has a received a three-year contract extension with a hefty pain increase.
The Falcons couldn’t be more happy with their head coach despite this year’s disappointing playoff performance.
He has guided Atlanta to the playoffs in two of his first three seasons as the head coach and helped the city forget about Michael Vick.
Smith had just one year remaining on his initial four-year deal, so the team wanted to give him a vote of confidence.
No coach ever wants to go into a season as a potential lame duck, so this is a smart move by Atlanta.
