game3525 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Quote they are also interested in Pete Carroll I forgot to comment on this. I like Pete, but the time to go after him would have been 2010. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like the kind of guy who has consolidated his power within the organization. It might be team to cut him out. I’ve always wondered why he’s been in Atlanta for so long anyway. I’ve never seen a coach or GM/exec ride the coattails of one Super Bowl win like McKay has. Anyone else would have been let go long ago for the ups and downs that Atlanta has had. He started with personnel authority as GM, lost it, gained it back, and has now lost the business side recently despite still being the CEO. It reminds me of Bruce Allen here. I think it’s time for them to have a whole reset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 2 weeks out from Week 18 and not only do they not have any consensus, now they're getting into the selective media leaks/power struggle nonsense. And it's not like they've hired a new CEO or anything, so no excuses on the turnover front. It's the people they have in house who can't get along. Personally, I'd guess Blank is the problem because he's always been close to the team. He's on the sideline all the time, he infamously 'negotiated' Matt Ryan's rookie deal by accepting the first offer from his agent, etc. He's a meddler. But a different spin on it is that if Blank doesn't completely trust his CEO to be able to find a decent HC/GM, then he should fire him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s time for them to have a whole reset. Not really. He never gained back personnel authority. That still rests with the GM here. He runs the business side and he runs an operations type role. He's also advisory. But he's not forcing his vision on anything. Nor does he have the power to do so. 1 hour ago, ramssuperbowl99 said: You ready to admit their process is a disaster yet? 1 hour ago, ramssuperbowl99 said: We're 2 weeks out from Week 18 and not only do they not have any consensus, now they're getting into the selective media leaks/power struggle nonsense.

But a different spin on it is that if Blank doesn't completely trust his CEO to be able to find a decent HC/GM, then he should fire him. Jeff Schultz retired recently. So he's not media at all. Again, showing you have no idea what you're talking about here. Falcons run a collaborative process for things like a coaching search where the owner, CEO, team president and GM all will have a say in who is eventually hired. On the Matt Ryan rookie contract negotiation, that's a whole complicated thing. But he didn't take the first offer. They talked about the deal with Condon before the offers were made. But again, you don't know what you're talking about here. And at this point are making dumb *** things up. Quote The Falcons' haste in finalizing the deal with Ryan received a boost when word leaked the NFL owners, who met Tuesday in Atlanta, were about to opt out of a labor deal with the players' union in 2011. Before the owners' unanimous vote, the deal could not have gone through 2013. The Falcons and Ryan's agent, Tom Condon, already had agreed on six years as the basis for their deal, and to make that happen they needed to complete the negotiations by Tuesday. "We couldn't have gotten a six-year contract if we didn't get this deal done by 4 today," Blank said. "That was the urgency in getting it done today. The structure of the contract would not have been permissible because of the opt out." https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3405326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Also, if you owned an NFL team, would you not go down to the sidelines and watch the game from there during the 4th quarter? Why should he have to stay in the owner's box? He owns the damn stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure sounds super collaborative with the infighting and media leaks. What a bunch of pros. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
