Georgia fans boo Falcons coach Arthur Smith on Pat McAfee Show

Arthur Smith Pat McAfee Falcons Georgia Atlanta Falcons Bobby Petrino UGA

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith has made weekly appearances on “The Pat McAfee Show” throughout the season, but Friday’s appearance was easily Smith’s most interesting yet.

The show held a live broadcast from Athens, Georgia and there were plenty of Falcons fans within shouting distance of the set. When McAfee mentioned his interview with Smith, fans began to boo uncontrollably.

Smith received a much warmer reception when he was actually introduced. Atlanta’s head coach was asked about his recent five-minute explanation of Bijan Robinson’s red-zone usage before donating $15,000 to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.

Here’s a rundown of Smith’s Friday appearance on ESPN, including Twitter reactions from Falcons fans below.
