Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Since he left Tampa Bay and joined Falcons owner Arthur Blank in December 2003, McKay has held dual titles as president-GM. Atlanta had a productive offseason in 2004, but the team has made several poor personnel decisions during the last three years. McKay also recommended coach Bobby Petrino as a replacement for Jim Mora last January. Petrino stayed just 13 games before suddenly resigning and leaving for Arkansas. The Falcons went 4-12 this season, which was dominated by Michael Vick's federal dogfighting crimes and Petrino's departure. Blank has enlisted McKay to help interview candidates for the vacant head coach and GM jobs.
