The Atlanta Falcons made Arthur Smith an offer to become the team’s next head coach on Friday morning, but the deal didn’t come together until several hours later. Despite speculation that Smith wouldn’t be accepting the job, the team officially named him to the position late Friday afternoon.
Now that the Falcons finally have a head coach, let’s see what the people of Twitter have to say about Smith’s hiring.

I’m very pleased with this hire. Both the Titans passing and rushing offense have been ranked in the top 10 in the league for the past two seasons. Hopefully he can rejuvenate Atlanta’s offense the same way he did for the Titans. Very excited for the future. #RiseUpATL https://t.co/mqo73c5AgC

Ryan Tannehill on Arthur Smith earlier this week: "He’s a great coach all the way around. Everything that you look for in a coach and a leader and a great offensive mind he does a good job with." Smith is the new coach of the #Falcons @nflnetwork @AroundTheNFL https://t.co/ol1I4RST9w

I like the hire. Joe Brady should get one of the next jobs, I think its between Caldwell, Bieniemy and Kelly in Houston and maybe #Rams fans Brandon Staley isn’t waited for and remains with the Rams. https://t.co/wUC2Q2PvnV

Was Matt LaFleur’s TE coach in Tennessee in 2018. Replaced LaFleur as the Titans OC the last two years. https://t.co/jmMYrLh5SR
