Posted September 30 Time to go for an innovative hire, like the Braves and Hawks have recently. I’m not sure who that is, but I’d start by looking in the Steelers and Ravens organizations, or heaven help me, the -choke- Saints.

Posted September 30 If we are to go we don’t need innovative we need vet experienced hence why I’m a big proponent of getting Bill Polian out from behind whatever job he’s doing. Hes done it all in the game seen just about everything.Won Lost rebuilt expansion that lot.Identifies talent HOF resume get him out of retirement. I’d do the same at the HCing position aswell.No more young inexperienced guys give me a guy with a resume whose offensive minded. I’d try and entice Andy Reid away from KC if we could. lju713 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 30 The Eagles,Chiefs,Ravens,and Pats have all drafted good over the last decade. Mainly in the trenches, and that's where TD has failed as a GM RichardCNile, sdogg and Chitown2ATL_Falcon like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t agree with the GM take, but we missed badly not getting a shot at Andy. He and Matt would be an unstoppable combination. The man is as close as the league has to the genius of Bill Walsh. lju713 and sdogg like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btw do not pick anyone from the Pats, they draft like *** and the only reason they are good is because BB is a magician at getting other teams players and turning them to all-pros, he himself though sucks *** at drafting. If you dont believe me go look at the guys they drafted the last 10 years, its ugly. JeffAtl, Falconsfan567, rings639 and 1 other like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all Kraft and Belichick. Mostly Belichick though. Chitown2ATL_Falcon and trudweathers like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both TD and DQ need to be shown the door, and the sooner the better. Doctor Kildare, Chitown2ATL_Falcon, sdogg and 1 other like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The man is as close as the league has to the genius of Bill Walsh. That's pushing it. In 152 games, Walsh won three superbowls, built a dynasty and revolutionized the game. Reid has coached in about 350 games and zero championships. Reid's teams put up numbers in the regular season and then falter.

If Pioli tried to force a player on Quinn he would have been fired. While he was here, he had no real power beyond running the scouting.

If your only mark of who is a great coaching mind is having won a super bowl, I’m afraid you couldn’t hire anyone to fill that. He has over **EDIT: 200 wins, not 300 (typo)**, and outside of year one in Philly, has only had 2 losing seasons in 21 years, and coached 26 playoff games. Would anyone take Gruden over Andy as a coach? How about Billick? Or Peterson, for that matter? Highly doubtful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or Peterson, for that matter? Highly doubtful. He has 200 wins, not 300. His winning percentage is .616 which is about a 10-6 avg. Reid is looking great now because of Mahomes. At the time he was available (he was fired as coach and de-facto GM at Philly), he wasn't such a hot commodity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have WAY to many busts along both lines since TD has got here. Doctor Kildare and sdogg like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
