Tampa didn’t work was a great assistant uh after Brandon Staley left for the Rams became mcvey’s best friend on the staff uh and did very very well with a really young defense Morris is one of those guys like demo Ryan uh or Shan McVey very impressive in person kind of
You know just a guy eye contact really smart uh point of view so Rahe interviews very well I’ve been told that numerous occasions U probably I would have gone after maybe a Mike r uh again defensive coach they don’t have a quarterback but I think this is what
Bellich is falling into is that and it’s really funny that um bill doesn’t really have any vulnerability like Bill’s going to do what Bill wants to do that’s why he’s got his kids on the staff and he hires coaches who are it’s he had a very weak staff got multiple fired guys in
New England so um you know Bill wants more control than Arthur Blank and Rich McCay uh are willing to give and had Bill read the room he would have known that Arthur Blank has never hired a big time head coach he’s always given it to upand cominging coaches who don’t feel
Like they have to own the room blank’s a brilliant businessman Rich McKay is excellent with operations and certainly knows Talent Terry Fontano from the Saints is a well uh uh smart guy that’s well thought of around the league I mean he’s not uh you know we don’t look at
Him quite as a Les Sneed maybe yet or a Mickey Lumis in New Orleans yet or a hoe Roseman or a Brett Vach but he is well thought of um but I think belich um the thing that worries you if you’re Atlanta he’s a milestone guy is he really care about
Atlanta never never never coached really I mean head coach in Cleveland then in New England he do know much about the NFC South um he has uh drafted 15 quarterbacks one star Brady one starter Garoppolo two to three capable backups and 10 misses so I think Bill was going up against recent history
In Atlanta where they’re going to take a Dan Quinn they’re gonna take a Raheem Morris they’re going to take a young upand cominging assistant that’s not going to need to dominate personnel and I’ll be honest with you the Seahawks last two drafts have been much stronger when joh Snider was empowered by
Ownership and controlled the drafts heat in a vacuum in Seattle when Paul Allen died had a lot of power it frustrated John Snyder who went and sought the Detroit Lions job got her raised they brought him back to Seattle and there were some assurances that he would have
More control in the draft I have it on two different sources who I trust implicitly is that Pete would sometimes um have a very strong opinion and it would sway the Seahawks drafts and for years and year I was told this for years by people in the league I respected that
Seahawks drafts were unpredictable now Pete’s were very good when he came out out of college out of USC at a two or threee run where they’re excellent but like most Pro coaches he’s not sitting around watching college football all Saturday he’s looking at NFL stuff and NFL personnel and film and I thought
Seattle’s drafts got much better in the last couple of years when John Snyder exerted more power I think bich last seven drafts have mostly been absolutely abysmal why once again I have it sourced for multiple people that as as he started stacking rings in net worth and
And power uh he was more difficult for Brady to deal with and he told mid January the draft Department the scouts I got it from here it’s hard to find any hits in the last seven drafts on the offensive side they’ve had two pro bowlers one’s a punter so I don’t think
Coach I remember when Mike holen was in Seattle years ago great coach he had a little bit too much power when he first started in Seattle he struggled with a couple of early drafts you’re asking drafting is hard enough for great GMS hoe Roseman has had huge whiffs and
How’s brilliant and completely dedicated so the idea that bill bellich any of these coaches want over 50% power John Gruden by the way with the Raiders had the final say with Mike Mayo uh I I’m I know that cuz it’s sourced go look at the Raiders first round picks in later
Rounds bruden would let Mayo have more control but in that first round his first second round John thought he was the television John Gruden and exerted too much power and control and they had multiple major whiffs bruden Pete Carroll Bill bellich Mike HR those are
Just four examples the best way to do it is less sne and the Rams and Shawn McVey where McVey has absolute say but they really work collaboratively collaboratively they really work together very very well Shawn if he does have the final say is very respectful about it but they’re really committed to
The process from beginning to end and last year they had a sensational draft outside of ston Bennett who had struggled uh I I think with some things personally and they’re not sure if that’s going to work he was a fourth round pick but they nailed their second second round pick two thirds multiple
Fifths uh it was a great draft for them even picked up some guys late in the sixth and seventh round draft King sports book an official sports betting partner of the NFL is bringing you yes an offer that will help you win money in the NFL playoffs new

And though Raheem Morris I probably would have gone to the offensive side they just had an offensive coach and it didn’t work so there is a history in this league demo Ryan is the latest if you have a top defensive coach and a star quarterback and CJ stad certainly
Emerged looks like a star top six seven quarterback um you can hoist trophies I don’t think defensive coaches are as good with marginal quarterback talent I don’t think they’re good when they have a disruption at quarterback a backup a gardener muu or a Joe flacko Shane
Styken and Kevin stefansky hit it out of the park but if you have a Lamar Jackson or a Josh Allen or a CJ strad or Brady in his prime or Big Ben in his prime I’m okay with defensive coaches so if they nail if they draft the third or the
Fourth quarterback and nail it Raheem Morris will be a fine coach uh if they if they draft somebody and it doesn’t hit and they’re marginal he’ll probably struggle it is a weak division um but bich didn’t get it he didn’t get the Chargers reportedly Ben Johnson is a
Slam dunk in Washington to me those were the three best jobs Carolina nope that’s taken too by a young coach so and and when you get older bellich a year off is not an advantage that that’s not necessarily an advantage Sean Payton was seen closer to
His prime Mike Vel seen is closer to his prime bich is and his record shows it allergic to offense toned deaf offensively not building great staffs he he is not only past his prime uh he’s well past it just say That

I don't know why this bugs me so much, but it's Schneider, not Snyder lol.
It’s not deep at all. He’s 71.
Bill is tyrant whose days have been numbered. He is a champion and without a doubt a goat in coaching but it’s hard to respect him and it’s actually sad.
Belichick is the 2024 version of NORMA DESMOND
Raheem who?
This ownership is terrible almost worse than Jeffrey Lurie is at owning the Eagles. The Falcons can’t even hire a head coach that will help them win. What a disgrace this team has become. Hiring a guy like this is a terrible idea. They need someone with experience. The falcons not only won’t win not season but now they need a QB they have nothing. The falcons will be lucky to win 5 games next season.
Not a good fit, it's just a fix, he was head coach of the Tampa Bay, he did nothing there, Falcons F up again, bunch of fools around Arthur Blank
Bill doesn’t Owe Anyone an Explanation of Anything ? Do a little commentating if you feel like it ? Might make a good living as a “ Professional Betting Handicapper ? “ ? 🤔
U already had this coach atl! Bad hire! Go check his record his actually worse then Arthur smith! He won the Super Bowl wid the rams CUX anybody could’ve they was loaded for that season to win the Super Bowl. Smdh u pass u bill CUz u wasn’t fit for him. U won’t ever win atl unless u get wid the program. Very sad for the city we don’t care if his black or white btw we want to win!
Welp that should show u that the falcons organization doesn’t want to win. Mr blank needs to pass so we can change the culture to what it supposed to be!
I was pissed about Morris at first. All I saw was a retread with a 21-38 record. After further review, it's not as bad. His losing stint with Tampa was 13 years ago. He was a 32 year coach that was thrust into the role when Gruden was fired. It's safe to say he's learned a lot since then & is more prepared to be the head man
Bill Belichick forced Tom Brady out of New England. Why? Made him look like a complete idiot and terrible coach. Made him look like an even worse GM.
He'll be gone after the same 3 mediocre seasons
82-98….Belichick's record without Brady. Everyone knows who was doing the heavy lifting in New England all those years and it wasn't Bill. If there was any doubt Tom erased it when he went to Tampa and won a Super Bowl there.
Belichick was a genius with Brady in the line up in the same way in basketball the triangle offense was genius as long as Mike Shaq and Kobe were part of it.
Belichick needs to go to Washington commander
Everyone knows why Morris got the job. Let's not act like it's about personal control.
The last couple of years of Belichick’s tenure damaged his legacy. Didn’t want to get a QB off the street, that was better than what he had on his team, to just win as many games as possible, maybe make a last “run”. To just “stand pat” and keep losing was not a good look. And he wonders why he can’t get a job. He’s a seventy something, stubborn and set in his ways. Folks are thinking the game has passed him by. By the way, teams aren’t exactly standing in line to hire fellow seventy something Pete Carrol either.
If Ravens shut down Patrick/Andy..Macdonald .# 1 to DC not even close!!!
Personally, I don't want Belichick to break Shula's wins record. Shula was all class. Belichick is a good coach, but his cheating scandals taint him.
Oh so it works with a defensive coach and a star QB huh? Say perhaps…a Baker Mayfield??🤔
They can control Raheem… Not bill.
Colin you give the most knowledgeable .. no bias.. professional sports commentary on TV and podcast there is out there today..Thanks for your hard work..
Bill will have more family time. How is that a tragedy?
"Atlanta is going to take a Dan Quinn"
Buddy we been there done that
If I were Belichick, I would’ve planned a retirement in New England. He missed an opportunity to bow out gracefully. At 72, he’s done it all and I’m sure most owners are concerned if he’s either motivated enough or young enough to build up a franchise at this point.
Falcons are like the colts, giants, Steelers, bears, jets etc. poverty franchise that can’t get the coach, QB, or home field advantage right.
Falcons will win about 4 games again
