Falcons request interview with Joe Brady for HC job

It's not 20 , 24, 27 and 21. 4 last regular season games.

 

Why would you only include the last 4?  Thats not his entire body of work.  You can't just cherry pick games.  Teams are up and down all season. Brady is 27.42 ppg on the regular season since he took over.  Thats good enough for top 5 in the NFL and 2 ppg out of 1st.

Yea I agree a full year with Josh he will be a top candidate and may well land a job next year if it goes well. 

 

But I don't think he is getting the Atlanta job. I think Belichick is.

 

Yeah I agree

That's most likely the move.

 

I think most likely the move is keep requesting interviews with other candidates so that when Bill Belichick arrives for his second interview tomorrow they can apply some pressure on him to decide. 

 

They are very likely conscious that Belichick has the power here. They want to turn the screw a little bit. Don't jerk us around we have other options it is yes or no.

That seems like the path he should want to do anyway get a good solid year under his belt as an OC with a solid offense from the offseason through, plus more experience working with a good HC at a high level in the system.

Yeah I agree

It's not cherry picking,  I agree is an inexact science,  but it's also after he's had an opportunity to put his stamp on the game.

I'm not crapping in the guy,  but we can't afford to make the Dorsey mistake again.

Belichick knows he’s one of the greatest coaches of all time, bringing in Joe Brady or anyone else isn’t going to pressure Bill at all. 
 

He knows his worth and knows teams will wait for him.

lol. This is quite the list. From PFT

 

“The Falcons also have completed interviews with Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, Ravens assistant head coach/defensive line coach Anthony Weaver and 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.

They have requested Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, Bills interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.”

Didn't we use that logic with Dorsey too? It's not like our offense has been lighting up it, it's just that Brady loosened the reigns on Allen, which any of us would have done the same. I'm not ragging on Brady, but I'm not overly impressed and would love the opportunity to get a great, established OC.

Uh oh,  someone's feelings get hurt? 

They continuously put up high scores against “stout/good” defenses…. The offense isn’t near as basic and they attack in different ways, often. It’s more than unleashing Allen.

I agree it's a more well rounded offense. But any oc worth his salt should accomplish that with the talent available. 

Maybe he's the guy,  I don't know.

I like the prospect of taking what he’s done this season and pair that with an entire offseason (preferably, after a Super Bowl win :)). 
 

We all know Dorsey was a first time play caller and Brady isn’t. I buy into his learning from the last time he was an OC, plus his time at LSU.

I'm pretty shocked by this. Wonder if they are scouting ahead for him as OC if the Bills don't keep him in the position.

 

I doubt it. Both that they're scouting him for OC and that he doesn't keep the gig.

 

Whoever they hire as Head Coach is going to want their own staff. They aren't going to hire someone and say "we already have chosen your OC". Especially since he wouldn't be replaced for some time after they hire a HC, if it were to happen at all.

 

And honestly, I don't see them replacing Brady. Brady has done a tremendous job since replacing Dorsey. He's been in the building working with Josh since last season. I doubt they're going to say "this is working, but I think we can do better". The job is his next season.

That’s surprising to be sure. They seemed locked onto Belichick 

probably covering their butts. I don't think it would surprise anyone if Belichick backed out at the last minute, leaving them hanging.

If the Bills win the Superbowl expect Brady to get more HC interviews. If we ever have a good season we will lose our OC that's just how it goes when you have a DC head coach

 

I can live with that.

Why?

 

Does Brady have at least 1 drop of black blood? 🤔


No, it is the Rooney rule. 
 

As in Ed Rooney, the Principal from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

It is cherry picking if you only include some of his games and not all of them.  I even ignored the playoff game but that is him too.  I do agree we can't afford to make the Dorsey mistake again though.  This isn't even fully his offense. Its the same offense with some tweaks and casual changes over time.  An OC really needs an offseason to install an offense.

 

Im not even saying he is the guy.  Im just saying that its not fair to pick only a portion of his games and ignore the higher scoring ones.  Thats disingenuous

Joe looks more like Rooney Mara than Ed Rooney. But, he likely would eat that gummy bear you’ve had in your pocket for a week…

The reason I picked the last 4 games was that I felt that they were games where he's had an opportunity to put his philosophy into the game plans in more detail. I don't disagree with you otherwise.

Sure. But the Falcons still have to try and leverage whatever they can.

Joe Brady is not ready for any head coaching job right now. If we get to the Super Bowl AND win it then yeah, he can probably leave.

 

Honestly, he needs more time, as our offensive coordinator, for another 2 years. He's just too new to the scene. He's only 34 years young after all.
