falcons4life Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Why should a season ticket holder renew his tickets after this hire?Why should people who support this team continue to support them when this hire stinks of cronyism and against what the vast majority of fans wanted?Why is this new OC "the guy" over the other candidates?Were there other true candidates who interviewed?Blank is going to need to come clean or at least BS us in order to reinvigorate this fanbase and most importantly the season ticket holders.I am not a fan of this hire at all like many others. So Mr. Blank, tell us why. Why is this guy the BEST guy out there to take the Falcons to the next level?Anxious to see if they hold a presser and talk at length about their decisions.

4LoveoftheGame Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I am sure there will be some BS out tomorrow. I will be hoping they made the right decision on this hire, but I can't get excited about it. Feel like we blew a golden opportuinity just like the last 2 playoff games.

Stewie Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 From what I have seen of our fans today, there was no reason to have transparency, because most of our fans are not smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like we blew a golden opportuinity just like the last 2 playoff games.I share the same feelings.I just want to know a little more about how this guy was head and shoulders above anyone else to get the job.While the fans dont have a right to know (its his team and can do as he chooses) it would be smart for AB to at least give us some insight as to why this is the guy.Still shaking my head.

4LoveoftheGame Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I get it now, perhaps the Jags and Falcons are competing for which team moves to L.A. first. Maybe they had bets on who's OC was worse.Maybe the two owners just saw the movie "Trading Places" and it gave them is idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons4life Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 What did the majority of the fans want?A small sample from the thousands of posts on this board ran from Billick to Clements to Friedgen to Martz. A big name with bigtime experience in winning CHAMPIONSHIPS.All of those guys had FAR more support than our new OC. Combine that with posts from the AJC and Facebook and I think my statment stands.Basically,the majority of the fans wanted just about anyone besides the guy we got.

FalconFanSince1970 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 From what I have seen of our fans today, there was no reason to have transparency, because most of our fans are not smart.Been saying this for 12 years.Just a bunch of X generation, microwave Madden boys and some ole school fans that have quit.We have about 31,529 real fans and maybe 46 good message boarders. That about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Mojo-Risin} Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'd rather go for someone who has success with decent and/or good players than one with excuses of having bad players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ryan=MAVERICK Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I agree w/ ya OP.I'll be really honest. I'm a servicemember who makes certain sacrifices to make the relative amount of money that I make. I work really hard (like many of you) to support this team. To see us consistently get beat in big games, then make this hire..and call it an IMPROVEMENT shows me a lot. And it hurts... Like many of my fellow servicemembers....I want a team that I can be proud of and brag about. Instead I'm always making excuses about personnel decisions, 3rd down DEFICIENCY, THIS FRAKKIN HIRE!!! This team is pathetic..this coach is pathetic...this GM is pathetic...and..why is our teams owner allowing this to happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons Beach Bum Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Why do fans feel like AB owes them any explanation? Look at the differing opinions on these boards. You realize that as a general rule, the fans know jack about running a team. I would be extremely disappointed if AB took his cues from the posters here!

The majority do not like the way this team is going. Want to have blackouts? Keep going conservative and giving the finger to your consumers. Then see how well that does.
