Also not helping Del Rio: the Jaguars' dreadful offense, exacerbated by a rookie quarterback and zero playmakers outside of Maurice Jones-Drew. But it's not like the Chiefs are an offensive juggernaut. They "featured" Matt Cassel, Tyler Palko and Kyle Orton under center at various points this season. Yes, Del Rio, a defensive coach, could higher a brilliant offensive mind to turn things around but if that's the thinking, why hire Del Rio at all? Just hire the brilliant offensive mind. ]

Really?


BTW, i have always thought that Del Rio was a complete and utter asshat. I think this would piss me off more than McDaniels.

Mike Mularkey

Offensive Coordinator

Biography

Mike Mularkey’s outstanding work with the Falcons offense in 2010 continued its successful upward trend in his third season, helping to lay the groundwork for an NFC-best 13-3 record and an NFC South Division title.

Mularkey’s unit broke the team record for most first downs in a season with 353 while scoring the third-most points in club history with 414. Other superlatives included: ranking third in the NFL in time of possession (32:15), third-down conversions (46.7%) and scoring efficiency (scoring on 70 of 178 possessions), finishing 6th in the NFC in total offense per game (averaging 341.1 yards), and ending up 5th in the NFC in rushing yards a contest (118.2).

With Mularkey’s steady hand on the offensive helm since 2008, the Falcons rank second in the League with 45 touchdowns on drives lasting 10 plays or more and seventh in average rushing yards per game with 129.4.

His quarterback, Matt Ryan, enjoyed a career-year in just his third campaign in 2010, earning Pro Bowl honors for the first time with a career-best 28 touchdown passes (second-most ever in team history), 3,705 passing yards and just nine interceptions. Ryan’s 357 completions and 60.8 completion percentage established new team records under the watchful eye of Mularkey. Also, the 3,725 total net passing yards were the third- highest in a season in club annals.

Mularkey’s efficient offense allowed WR Roddy White to lead the NFL in receptions with a career-high and franchise-best 115 catches while breaking his own club record for receiving yards with an NFC- high 1,389 en route to his third straight Pro Bowl nod. RB Michael Turner was the starting point again for Mularkey’s ball control offense as “The Burner” paced the NFC with 1,371 yards and scored 12 times while being voted to his second Pro Bowl as a Falcon. With the addition of TE Tony Gonzalez, T Tyson Clabo and FB Ovie Mughelli to the NFL’s All-Star game, the Falcons boasted an NFC team-high six Pro Bowlers on offense, which was quite a compliment to Mularkey’s successful system last year.

For his efforts, the former NFL tight end was afforded “Coordinator of the Year” honors by the prestigious Sporting News magazine.

Although injuries hampered both Ryan and Turner in 2009, the offense still averaged 340.4 yards per game while the passing game improved to a 223.2 yards per game average as the Falcons earned back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history. Among individual offensive highlights, White led the team with 1,153 receiving yards and became only the second player in franchise history to total three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. White also added a career-high 11 touchdowns while earning his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. Mularkey also pieced together an offensive game plan which featured Gonzalez, who provided a large contribution in his first year with the team. The future Hall of Fame tight end set a franchise record among players at his position with 88 receptions while adding 867 yards and six touchdowns.

Mularkey’s successful impact on the Falcons was immense in his first season in Atlanta in 2008.

Under his direction, Atlanta’s diverse offense finished second in the NFL with an average of 152.7 rushing yards per game, sixth in total offense with an average of 361.2 yards a game, 14th in passing yards with a 208.5 average per contest, and 10th in points scored at 24.4. The Falcons broke a 27-year old team record by totaling 5,779 net yards gained in ‘08 and also established a new club mark by only surrendering 17 total sacks overall. The 391 points scored and 61.1 passing completion percentage were both the fifth-best marks in a season in club history. Mularkey’s efficient offense helped the Falcons finish with an 11-5 record, only the sixth double-digit win total in a season in team history (at that time) and earn a Wild Card playoff berth.
