Reaction to Atlanta Falcons hiring Raheem Morris over Bill Belichick | Colin Cowherd NFL

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill Belichick loosen up a bit on his approach

Bill Belichick was the head coach of a dynasty that went to 10 Super Bowls and won 6 with Tom Brady. I am not sure how he did it being the GM and the head coach for those years-- both are full-time jobs. Belichick also known for letting players go one year ahead of their expiration date, yet he did not fire Belichick the GM despite his last 4 dismal years. However, I would not hire him to another head coaching only job-- I would never give him a G job-- until he can explain making Matt Patricia his offensive coordinator and destroying Mac Jones career. I saw a spiteful man who should have been fired in New England after OC Patricia coached.

Unless Belichick is bringing Brady in his prime with him, there's no reason to hire Belichick.

Maybe Cleveland would be interested. He'd at least get them two wins against the Steelers every year.

Ya wasn’t surprised about belichick not getting the gig, but Raheem morris??? Seriously?!? We’re fucked for another 2/3 years

Parcels said "You are what your record is"

So Belichick gets a year off, while McCarthy and Siriani and Tomlin are in final year of contract? Hmmm...

Rich McKay stinks

All I know is this: After what happened to Mack Jones, if I was an owner, there’s no way I‘d let Belichick anywhere NEAR my young quarterback!!

Patriots have trended down since Thanksgiving 2019. Their drafts have been abysmal since 2015.

This is a” what you done for me lately” people forget his first 20 years. However Belichick’s drafts the last ten years have been abysmal.

Wants control of the organisation.
Poor record over the last four seasons.
New York Jets, one day in 1994.
What’s right with this picture from the owner’s perspective?

He was nothing without Brady!!! Look at the record!!!

Most companies don't hire an employee that got fired from the last job because they were doing a crappy job.

As the director dude who does the podcast for the chargers would day, " welcome to "FAULLCKANS". 🤦‍♂️

That 28-3 must still hurt the falcons

The problem you mention with Bill is the same one with Vrabel and it's why he's not getting any offers. Vrabel was in a power struggle with Titans ownership and the new GM as well. I don't think any team wants a head coach that wants to run the entire organization like Bill did.

Everyone’s assuming it’s the falcons who didn’t want Belicheck but maybe it’s him who didn’t want the falcons. I feel like a team doesn’t need to interview the best coach of all time. He’s interviewing you. Maybe after that 2nd interview he felt it wasn’t the fit for him and he’d rather wait for next year when the eagles job opens or the cowboys job opens. Maybe the bills job will open. Dudes got options and I guarantee wherever he wants to go, he will. And the narrative will change

FALCONS: Grab Kirk Cousins and get that edge rusher with the #8 pick and you’re ready to roll.

Falcons have never been relevant so it doesnt matter what ownership thinks is best. They're constantly wrong

Bill has done NOTHING pre and post Brady. Brady proved his point. None of Bill's assistants have done anything as head coaches. The winningest does NOT mean the greatest. He is NO Bill Walsh.

Raheem.. Not a sexy pick. But he's a Falcon Now! So I am behind him 100%. I wish him the very best for us.. Let's Go Falcons!

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

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.

"Atlanta is going to take a Dan Quinn"

Buddy we been there done that

Bill will have more family time. How is that a tragedy?

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..

They can control Raheem… Not bill.

Oh so it works with a defensive coach and a star QB huh? Say perhaps...a Baker Mayfield??🤔

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.

If Ravens shut down Patrick/Andy..Macdonald .# 1 to DC not even close!!!

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.

Everyone knows why Morris got the job. Let's not act like it's about personal control.

Belichick needs to go to Washington commander

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.

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.

He'll be gone after the same 3 mediocre seasons

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.

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

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!

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!

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 ? “ ? 🤔

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

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.

Raheem who?

Belichick is the 2024 version of NORMA DESMOND

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.

It’s not deep at all. He’s 71.

I don't know why this bugs me so much, but it's Schneider, not Snyder lol.

Bill wants 15 more wins or so and then he's out. That's the reason I wouldn't hire him.

Bill should retire from coaching or do a Harbaugh and coach NCAA till he gets his rep back
