Familiar Foe in Atlanta

[Mr. Scot]

Falcons are reportedly set to hire Raheem Morris as their DC.

Looks like both coordinators will be in place before the head coach is hired.

[PanthersATL]

which seems really weird to me. what if the new HC wants to hire his own DC? 

 

Makes you think that some of the Falcons' problems are at the owner level, micromanaging, rather than at the game level where it's supposed to be.

Quinn and Shannahan are good hires. This old fuger is not.

I don't think Quinn is good.

While what you say above about Blank is true, he DOES stick his nose constantly into the Falcon's day-to-day football operations like he knows what he's doing, I think the coordinator hires are at the blessing of who everyone at this point knows is going to be their head coach, Quinn.

 

Which spits in the face of the current rule about hiring coaches on playoff teams (albeit its a bad rule).

 

I'm betting the Falcon's ignoring and "working around" this rule will get absolutely no notice from the league office.

Certainly this is at the request and approval of Quinn.

But I'm sure there's no tampering or anything.

Are you saying that Blank involves himself in day-to-day activities? NOOOOOO.

 

Oh, wait... never mind.

Yeah, living in Atlanta, I have to say that every story I read about Arty Blank makes me thank the dear, sweet lord for Jerry Richardson.

 

[Jackofalltrades]

The GM doing stuff backwards is what's wrong with the team, seems he hasn't learned anything.

The should have fired TD rather than Mike Smith.

[Growl]

Eh, I assume this means theyve locked down a deal with Quinn and theyre hiring "his" guys. I don't think theyre doing it backwards.

Technically if it comes out theyre talking maybe they could get busted for tampering, so hey, that'd be cool.

[PantherFanOne]

No matter how much Blank the owner intervenes,or who he hires, the Panthers are going to seriously whip some Falcons Butt this year.

[tiger7_88]

I wonder if in the eventuality/possibility that Tom Brady and the NE offense rapes the Seattle defense, whether the Seahawks would have a legitimate grudge with the league to complain about the Falcon's tampering?

[TheSpecial1]

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten all about this guy. F*ck him!
