Watch: Falcons head coach Arthur Smith mic’d up at training camp

Falcons head coach Arthur Smith was one of the NFL’s most sought after coaching candidates during the 2021 offseason, but aside from watching the Titans’ offense run over the league, fans knew little about his demeanor on the sideline.

Thus far at training camp, it’s clear that Smith has good relationships with his players. However, he’s more of a disciplinarian than his predecessor, Dan Quinn. Atlanta’s practices have been intense as Smith knows the kind of work that needs to be done in order for this team to get back to the playoffs following a three-year drought.

Smith was wired for sound at a recent practice and you can see the two sides of his personality shining through. Among the highlights in his new mic’d up segment, Smith rips his players for excessive celebration after a two-yard gain.

Watch the video below, as shared by the team’s Twitter account.

No excuses. It’s all about accountability.
