ATLANTA -- Less than 24 hours after a blowout loss that kept his Falcons out of the playoffs, Mike Smith was fired as coach, the team announced Monday.
Atlanta fell 34-3 to the Panthers at home on Sunday in a game that decided the NFC South and made it two consecutive years that the Falcons were kept out of the postseason.
In seven seasons at the helm, Smith took the Falcons to the playoffs four times, including 2012's 13-3 run, which was capped by a trip to the NFC Championship Game.

Smith went 66-46 but was 6-10 in 2014 and 10-22 over the last two seasons combined.
