Everybody laugh at Atlanta

Yeah. Belichick wanting the type of authority he had at New England was a bridge too far for the Falcons where Rich McKay has had that authority for over twenty years and has Arthur Blank’s trust.
I think they were smart to pass on Belichek. He was one of the best ever, but he’s well past those days. He ran the patriots franchise into the ground since Brady left. Really started even before then.
Agreed. The Patriots could do it because everything was long term for them.
Atlanta though?
I don’t know if I’d want to do that.
21-38 as a head coach, never finished better than 3rd in the conference w/ a decent TB team. What could go wrong w/ a 7-10 Atlanta team and him at the helm?
I get passing on a old Belichick. That ship has sailed in one Devil's opinion. But Vrabel and Harbaugh were clearly better choices.
I think Harbaugh wanted to get back to the bright lights of California.
Falcons should be able to move the ball in the future. Guess they felt like Morris could sure up the defense.

I'm sure some owners/GMs are desperate to have a minority coach to prove how progressive they are.
Harbaugh knows that quarterbacks matter in the NFL, the Chargers have a top 10 QB and I am not sure any other team with a coaching vacancy had a quarterback anywhere near that level. Several of them had neither a decent QB or a high enough draft pick to get one this year.
As a Saints fan, it sounds like the falcons made a great hire
At this point in his career, I’m not so sure. Morris has as many winning seasons in his 4 years as Belichek has in his last 4 seasons. And just as many playoff wins. 0.

Of that group, Belichick would’ve been my third pick, but he’s still better than Morris, in my opinion. Post-Brady, Belichick has a .457 winning percentage. Morris’ head coaching winning percentage is .356.
I'm not sure how much I would hold his stint as Bucs HC against him. He was 33 years old and clearly not ready. I don't know how he'll turn out in ATL, but I'm sure he's not the same coach he was 14 years ago.
And look how well that’s worked out for them. If I get divorced, I‘m dating ATL girls coz they don’t expect a ring.
3 facts about the falcons:
4 is the number of teams in their division
-
2 of those are on the gulf of mexico
8 is the jersey number that Pitts wears.
