Popular Post SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is “not the favorite” to land the Falcons head coaching job. “There is a real possibility” Belichick won’t land a head coaching job this offseason after parting ways with the Patriots after another disappointing regular season. Aright! Should make for a fun off-season next year when Bill and the Jets are both looking! 2 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oatmeal Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Lmao If a dude who’s won 6 SB can’t land another gig, what does this say for JD and Saleh trying to get another HC, GM job? And DONT bring up age being the reason why a team wouldn’t want bill because his timeline fits inline with a veteran team like Dallas or Philly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KRL Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 When you look at him objectively he's not a great candidate: - He's old - He thought Brady was done, then he went to TB and won another SB - He's been bad with personnel decisions - He's proven he can't win without Brady - On top of that how long is he looking to stay around? And his assistants suck If I was ATL I would go for Vrabel over him 11 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post-Brady record isn't exactly encouraging. That, and he wants full control I'm sure. Perhaps it's a difference in philosophy - ATL wants to draft their franchise QB while BB wants to bring in a vet. Could be as simple as that.

For every occurrence of Nick Foles winning a Superbowl you have Mahomes-Stafford-Brady-Mahomes-Brady-Foles-rady-Manning-Brady-Wilson.... Your other points are spot on. Sustained success in the NFL requires an above average QB. Yes, you can one off with Matt Cassell or Mac Jones. Long term sustained success requires a Top 5 QB.

Try that crap on a totally new squad, where you dont have the long term well established leadership, you dont have brady.....and it doesnt hit the ground running like a smooth well oiled machine. In an age where players LOVE to go on social media and drop subliminals....where they know they will likely be in the league longer than you are. You can go from being the G.O.A.T. to the "old goat" in a relatively quick period of time in the NFL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doitny Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 they dont want him cause he will be the GM too and he is not good at drafting. plus im sure BB wants something in his contract that if the owner tries to force decisions on him like who to draft or play and we all know these guys want some say then BB can leave. plus Ridder is not a QB. god knows what kind of plan BB has for a QB. maybe Blank doesnt like that plan. i said this before in another thread when it was between BB and Harbaugh. BB probably want to sign a QB like Brissett or maybe even bring in Russ Wilson and make a run at it and Blank wants to draft a QB at 8. same thing probably happen with Harbaugh and now hes with Herbert. ok insert any name you want of whoever the best available QB via trade or FA there is and thats who these guys want. there not drafting a QB and go through those growing pains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hex Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He just led a 4-13 team as the coach AND GM before getting fired. I think teams might want to wait a little bit before jumping the gun on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I think he might be one the most difficulty individuals to work for and with in almost any industry due to his lack of communication. I can imagine he kept Kraft and the entire building in the dark on everything at all times. This is just not the day and age to do that, especially when you this signing is a short commitment of probably 3-4 years. I still think if Andy Reid retires that Belichick will get the KC job.

If I'm Blank, I'm bringing on Kirk and also bringing on his old buddy Klint Kubiak at OC, and gambling on Belichick still being able to coach up the D. If it doesn't work, you blow it up in three years anyway just like you would with any other failed coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 81 and probably wants an SB win or at least a rise to relevance soon. He's gonna want to do it right this time, because he may not have enough time to afford another "blow it up in 3 years".

Kirk comes in as a plug and play borderline elite QB1. Belichick brings his 8 rings and defensive prowess. The division sucks. The alternative/"doing it right" are what? Drafting a non-blue chip QB at 7 and hoping he can hit the ground running while the other young talent on the team wastes away their rookie contracts? Hiring a first time HC? What staff is that HC going to be putting together if he's one of the younger guys? Honestly the more I think about it, the more I'd be livid if I were a Falcons fan that this hasn't already been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why would anyone want him? His record is atrocious without Tom Brady. He probably wants control over the entire roster and his drafting ability is worse than Idzik. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Time is undefeated. This is what happens to all great coaches towards the end, in their mid-late 70's. Most retire, some try and hold on and get fired. Not surprised at all that Bellichek is still unemployed at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
