Adoni Beast Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 8 hours ago, Rangers9 said: Look there's no way you can compare Morris to Belichick. Morris had a few years as a HC with TB and a losing record. But reports were he's been impressive with the Rams and deserves another HC chance. He was also super young when he got the Tampa job and was really just interim after Gruden was fired but impressed enough to stay on for a couple of years. I think he is head coaching material but just wasn't ready back then. I give Atlanta a lot of credit for this hire and not caving to the "big names" if it didn't fit what they were looking for. This guy was the interim HC of Atlanta after Quinn as fired so the organization has a good idea of who they're getting and the fact that they circled back to hire him down the road I think speaks volumes. I hope he does well....seems like a true football guy who earned his shot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Bellicheck's biggest issue for anyone wanting to hire him is he wants full control and he seems to have invested in neopotism the last few years. He's a terrific coach but he's not good enough to carry his kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drsamuel84 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Man, if things go bad next year I'd love to bring in Vrabel next year with Arthur Smith as OC. They did some great things with Tannehill and Smith while didn't impress as an H.C. is a really good O.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 LOL The Falcons interview 100 guys and then hire a retread they could have just retained / promoted from their own staff like 5 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not gonna fire Hackett, and no respectable HC is going to take this job if they can't bring in their own staff. Only way it would work is if we completely clean house(Rodgers included), but I don't think that's even possible, cap-wise. If it was, I'd be all for doing it and moving up for a QB. Most likely we're stuck with what we've got for one more year. Honestly don't think it's the worst thing in the world, since I do still want to see what this team can do with Rodgers. Worst case they flop again and all of this happens next year. Wouldn't be surprised if a handful of these names are still available next year as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Vrabel with the Titans, like the Packers, Ravens, Steelers, Bucs and BB, run a 3-4 defense. I think the 3-4 defense is a classic Northeast, cold weather, tough guy defense. Let's bring Vrabel and/or BB in and run that. The Ravens and Steelers have NEVER changed their defense. They draft LBs in the lower rounds to develop. This Woody flip the defenses back and forth is for the birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had absolutely no reason to hire Morris for DEI reasons simply to check a box. The impact of a head coach hire is enormous for a team. You may not like the hire, but they obviously feel Morris fits their plans and will work well with both management and the players. Like I said, no reason to whine about DEI when it just doesn't fit the situation. But carry on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 The lesson for coaching candidates in this cycle: don’t be antagonistic toward your dipsh*t ownership or you’ll never work again. Better go into those interviews ready to slurp on some billionaire’s nutsack and give them carte blanche to meddle in your program if you want a job and to keep it.

Larz Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 49ers’ HC Kyle Shanahan on Raheem Morris being named the Falcons’ head coach: “Oh, it's way past due. Raheem’s one of the best coaches I’ve been with. I got to work with him earlier in my career in Tampa. When I was young I was trying to get my dad to hire him as a D-Coordinator. He ended up becoming a head coach so fast. Then I got a chance to work with him in Washington. Then Atlanta, he actually was on defense. He got to come work with me on offense for a year. The fact that he was on defense his whole career and can came to be our receiver coach, it was unbelievable how cool he was. How good he did. Always tried to get him here every single year. But Raheem’s been one of the best. He's going to hell of an organization, a good situation with good people. I’m really happy for Atlanta that they got him and more than happy for Raheem.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I wonder if the Rams will back fill the passing game coordinator position or if LaFluer will have more responsibility than getting coffee for McVay this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
