Falcons Head Coach Arthur Smith stopped by Dukes & Bell live from Flowery Branch on Wednesday for an hour-long discussion. Coach Smith discussed a variety of topics including the leadership change for the team after the likes of Matt Ryan, Keanu Neal, Foye Oloukun and Julio Jones departed the team over the last several seasons. The Falcons will now turn to a familiar face to lead the team in Grady Jarrett.
“I told him this is your team now,” Coach Smith explained to Dukes & Bell.
Coach also relayed a story involving Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney. Swinney told Smith that if he were to start a franchise with any player ‘I’d start with Grady Jarrett’.
