However, Norb Hecker, who has coached thirty games, won only four. The Falcons last appearance in the playoffs was in 2004 while under Jim L. Mora. After Mora left the team in 2006, the Falcons hired Bobby Petrino who coached for only one year, during which the Bad Newz Kennels dog fighting investigation was under way which ultimately resulted in a prison term for former quarterback Michael Vick, and to Petrino's resignation. The Falcons would then sign coach Mike Smith at the end of the 2007 season.

Only four coaches have led the Falcons into the playoffs: Leeman Bennett, Jerry Glanville, Dan Reeves and Jim L. Mora. Since the team's debut in 1966, the Falcons have not won a Super Bowl.
