Google wasn’t much help and I was curious. There’s a loud contingent calling for Arthur Smith’s job. If the Falcons win the south but lose handedly in the first round of the playoffs, could he still be fired in the off season?

I was going to say Jimmy Johnson, but you didn’t ask if any coach has been fired after winning back to back super bowls.

It just happened in 2020.

Bill O’Brien led the Texans to the AFCS title in 2019, and beat the Bills in the WC round of the playoffs that year before losing 51-31 to the Chiefs.

After the Texans started the 2020 season 0-4, O’Brien was fired. So not only was he fired the season after making the playoffs, but he was fired 5 games after winning a playoff game.

And obviously the whole Deandre Hopkins fiasco…
