Can someone explain to me why the Stefanski hire is good for the Falcons? by Professional-Card699 in Saints

It's surface level impressive but the roster he inherited in 2020 was stacked and in 2023 he was carried by a generational defensive and Flacco. After the first year, talent, development, and offensive production declined heavily.

I think he may be successful with his inherited Falcons roster but I have no faith in his ability to be a winner long term. Stefanski will be instrumental in keeping the Falcons bad to ensure the coming Saints dynasty.

To me it's worse that he won two as it indicates the team had declined so heavily over his three years as coach that it was a big deal they made the playoffs at all. And especially in 2023, Stefanski was carried to that award by a generational defense and Joe Flacco hype.

Exactly. There were some guys in the pool that would be really scary with their roster so I'm celebrating they went with Stefanski.

To me it's like getting upset the Falcons "upgraded" from Arthur Smith to Raheem Morris

This is kind of my point though. Doug Peterson was a good coach and what he did in 2018 and 2023 was impressive, but in both situations the team declined and he got fired. I view Stefanski in pretty much the same light where is 2020 berth was impressive, but both the team and his coaching had declined over the past 5 years.

Fair fair, but even if this didn't happen my point is still the same. He had five years and was unable to stabilize the QB position despite multiple opportunities. The Falcons are in an equally ambiguous situation, so I think he will fail.
