Jesus Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 So what?Why does Rex deserve full control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I know. It's shocking the front office that almost lost their jobs because the head coach kept demanding players that made no sense for the team needs wouldn't want the new head coach to have that much authority over the roster.

FentayeJones Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 How come all of these leaks are coming out in regards to Rex's interview and no other cadidate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiker Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 What do you think Pioli and Dimi told him in the interview when Blank left?Probably feet talk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 This also. What the heck does "total control" really mean anyway. Can you envision a scenario where one guy completely disregards every single other voice in the building -- including the HC? In what way does it benefit TD and Pioli not to work collaboratively with whoever they bring in, including Rex Ryan?We have still heard nothing out of Flowery Branch. Rex wasn't the guy. Simple as that.He might have been the guy. We hadn't scheduled Bowles's second interview. Rex took the job while we were still in the process of evaluating Bowles. He jumped the gun. If he waited until Monday, he might have been our guy. We don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Would've been better firing TD and keeping Smitty, on the bright side PSLs are gonna get reduced BIG TIME. We won't have a winning season anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardc Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I can believe it. Blank is creating a "corporate culture" with layers of managers where everyone can kill an idea, but nobody can follow-through with an idea. We need someone who can evaluate talent. Some people can look at someone and say "he can play." Some people can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rings Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I love how almost every person on here takes these reports as facts and goes "Oh we suck". There have been multiple different threads of reasons why Rex isn't here and each time everyone thinks it is 100% the reason. These are all rumors. Let's wait until Rex answers that question before overreacting to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gritz Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I didn't need Jamie Dukes to tell me that the front office of the Falcons looks like a drawing done by a drunk Picasso right now.When what's his name Jay Adams came out a couple of weeks ago with the announcement of the restructuring of Pioli and Dimitroff's duties it was the cherry on top of the crap sundae....and this was shortly after Blank dropped the 411 on all of us that the new HC would be reporting directly to him...HC reporting to a billionaire owner who all of a sudden thinks he's a football mastermind.I think there are rough waters ahead for the Falcons and Falcons fans.

Geneaut Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Don't most GMs have final say in the draft ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellectually Honest Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 just reported that his source within the Falcons camp that has intimate first hand knowledge, told him that Rex walked away due to TD & Piolli wanting complete control over draft picks. Rex stated he was not with that because that's how he lost his last job.They want a puppet.My only problem with that idea is that AB promised new coach could pick his own GM so I don't see how that would be a problem. Rex could have signed and tossed the garbage in the trash, unless of course AB is lying also and that idea of the coach picking a new GM is BS.

falconsd56 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Don't most GMs have final say in the draft ?YupSeattle,NE, and now Philly are the only 3 exceptions to that as far as I know.......but that could be off on that.Either way he does not have the track record to warrant any player control.

atljbo Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 this is BS ... if we offered rex the job saturday...he would have took it ...If this was the problem ... We would have def heard about this in Rex's article.But ppl will believe this because they are mad and is hunting for heads right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
