Terry Fontenot had to know his end of year press conference would be a less than pleasant affair. The-now fifth year general manager has been retained by the Atlanta Falcons, but his previous four years on the job now have all ended with losing seasons, which means he’s under quite a bit more scrutiny than first-year head coach Raheem Morris. I say that knowing full well Morris is under plenty of scrutiny himself.
It was not surprising, then, to see Fontenot ready with the mea culpas. He kicked things off by apologizing to fans and continually struck the note that the Falcons haven’t done well enough and must fix that.
