Arthur Blank is ‘panicking, in total disarray’ over Falcons HC search - SportsTalk ATL

Before the Falcons even parted ways with Arthur Smith, there were murmurs that Arthur Blank was intrigued with the idea of bringing in Bill Belichick to replace him. That was even before the Patriots and Belichick went their separate ways. Once both sides were available, national pundits one by...

It’s almost like the score was 28-3 and now it isn’t!

Down goes Bill.

WOW

 

[ZotZot]

Honestly all of the openings except for LAC were not good for BB. Wait for another BUF, DAL, or PHI choke and hop onto one of those teams

 

[VectorPrime]

Lmfao wow

Will he retire if staying unemployed?

 

[italian pat patriot]

This is not good for Bill...

If Bill wants that record he's probably going to have to accept not having full front office control somwhere. Teams aren't interested in him having that anymore. Not surprising. If I'm Bill I go in the media for a year, find a GM he can sell as a package deal that is coveted.

He could call his own shot for a media job.

I feel bad for Bill.

I feel bad for Bill.

Why? Teams are simply treating him the way he treated his players for the past 25 years.

Bill losing his job and potential new job to two minority HCs is a sign of changing times.
Team Bill heads exploding in 3, 2, 1....

Hiring a failed HC over the greatest of all time (BB's coaching is fine) is precisely why Atlanta is destined to continue its mediocrity.

We don't know if BB indicated he would be happy being just a HC. He may have wanted more control and authority than they were willing to give him.

Guess my earlier post wasn’t far off. Sorry to all the honks out there,

Maybe TB12 could pull some strings over at Fox and bring him aboard.

I would say he has to, simply because you lose your edge over that one year, he's old already, and all his sidekicks coaches will grab other jobs in the league.

Except for maybe Patricia.

As for Belichick, I expect him to take over as a GM/football operations.

This is why they’re the falcons. Decisions like this. If they wanted to jump start their offense Slowik makes a ton of sense. If it was defensive mind either Bill or Vrabel. This decision was stupid imo but par for the course for that franchise.

No exploding heads. I called this. The trend is toward young, fresh minds. Not surprised.
