The Atlanta Falcons have fired head coach Arthur Smith after three seasons without a playoff appearance or a winning record.

Smith met with Falcons owner Arthur Blank and CEO Rich McKay on Sunday night, hours after a 48-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints sealed a 7-10 season. The Falcons had an outside chance to win the NFC South with a victory but were outscored 31-0 after halftime.

Smith finished 21-30 in his three seasons with the team.
