Richardson's Health Linked To Hurney's Mid-Season Firing

[top dawg]

Per the following quote by Pro Football Weekly's anonymous sources, there is a sense of urgency to get on track because J-Rich knows that he doesn't have forever.

The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the

condition of anonymity:

“(Jerry) Richardson knows he is on borrowed time with his second heart and there is that urgency now that you see from older owners. That is why the decision (to fire GM Marty Hurney during the bye week) came when it did. The other part is — Marty is a standup guy. He takes responsibility for mistakes. He hired Ron Rivera and picked the players. If it’s any combination of players or coaches, it’s on the GM, and Marty acknowledged that."

I wonder what the implications will be in reference to hiring a GM, and possibly a new coach.

lol, PFT's "Anonymous" sources.

According to my "Anonymous" sources, the Atlanta Falcons are actually 0-7.

Except it makes complete logical sense and there is no reason not to believe it.

You would hope the owner being very serious about winning is the reason behind the move.

LOL dudes old! He must be in win now mode! No way he could have just made a sound business decision.

And this why JR is going outside the franchise to get help to look for a good GM. So that GM can hire us a good HC that can really help us win. The best guy for this job I'm seeing right now that is on the top of the list of other teams is Chip Kelly the HC of Oregon Ducks. He seems to be a very good HC and has his team winning every game. Plus I want a HC that is emotional and will get the job done. So long as Chip Kelly leaves the college Offense and defense schemes there and use Pro schemes. We already know college schemes don't work in the NFL.
