Google wasn't much help and I was curious. There's a loud contingent calling for Arthur Smith's job. If the Falcons win the south but lose handedly in the first round of the playoffs, could he still be fired in the off season?

Not during the offseason, but Ben McAdoo was fired the year after making the playoffs.

Hue Jackson and Ben McAdoo were hired in the same offseason.
In year 1, Ben McAdoo went 11-5 and the team went to the playoffs.
In year 1, Hue Jackson went 1-15.
In year 2, Ben McAdoo was fired during the season.
In year 2, Hue Jackson went 0-16 and still kept his job.
