The [Falcons] offense simply never progressed. Despite a renewed dedication to the run game, the Falcons lead the league in passing rates. The blocking scheme has turned into a mess as Koetter tried to stick his scheme on the ill-fitting personnel. The run game was predictable, basic, and lacking any creativity. Pass catchers were expected to make contested catches because they were never schemed into being open. For those reasons, Devonta Freeman finished the season with his lowest yards per carry of his career (second only to his 2014 season under Koetter). The team averaged 0.7 fewer yards per carry (4.5 to 3.8) and 212 fewer yards across the season. Matt Ryan had his highest number of interceptions since 2015.
After all this failure, nothing is changing. Keeping Koetter is another arrogant refusal to fix a problem so the braintrust does not have to admit failure. Fans will watch one of the last remaining prime years of Ryan and Julio Jones go to waste thanks to this continued mismanagement. We have seen enough to know that Koetter is not the answer, and sticking with him is just another blunder we can see one year out.
