Atlanta Falcons fans have hilariously sad reactions to Steve Sarkisian returning as offensive coordinator
By Adam Spencer

Last season, Steve Sarkisian served as an offensive analyst for Nick Saban’s Alabama squad, eventually taking over as offensive coordinator for the National Championship Game loss to Clemson.
He then left in the offseason to take the open OC job with the Atlanta Falcons, and Falcons fans have been unhappy with his performance, to say the least.
After dropping drastically in the points per game rankings, Falcons fans were understandably dismayed by Tuesday’s news that Sark would return in 2018, as reported by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport:
Clearing up one lingering question post-2017 (if it's even a question): #Falcons OC Steve Sarkisian is expected to return for 2018 with full confidence of coach Dan Quinn and his staff.

That sent Atlanta fans, who have had it rough the past couple of postseasons, into a frenzy on Twitter. Here are some of the best (or, rather, saddest) responses to Tuesday’s news:
