The Atlanta Falcons were throttled by the New Orleans Saints in their season finale, but neither team qualified for the postseason. On Tuesday, the Saints fired offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. along with wide receivers coach Kodi Burns and offensive assistant Bob Bicknell.
Carmichael Jr. joined the Saints coaching staff in 2006 as the quarterbacks coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2009.
