⚡Slumerican⚡ Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) After a week of research, the one guy that seems to me to actually have potential to rebuild this team is Urban Meyer..

I do get that, but Meyer is also young enough to have a potential 15 year career in the NFL.. Thats another huge factor i looked at, the age of a potential head coach.. Believe Meyer is like 55 Faithful Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidAndroid Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 What I respect about Meyer is that he can win against rivals.

But not as a head coach, Meyer has been around football his entire career.. Even much longer than Quinn. Youll be hard pressed to find a successful NFL coach thats just going to walk away from a winning team and come to Atlanta. And with competent oc's and dc's a head coach can actually do his job disciplining a team and preparing it to win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothan_birdman Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 No. He has had “health issues” and tbh I don’t know if he has the desire to do it on a pro level. He’s talented yes, but he would have to desire it for long term. ⚡Slumerican⚡ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has never once coached in the NFL. It's a huge difference going from coaching kids to grown men who make more than you.

You would also have to think that Meyer would do a good job at picking guys in the Draft Edited October 8, 2019 by Drvillain ⚡Slumerican⚡ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyofish Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Why do you assume Meyer will take the job? He left coaching because of medical & health issues. It's also easier to coach impressionable kids than NFL millionaires as Saban found out. In CFB it's all about recruiting 5-star talent to play in your system. Meyer won't have the luxury of filling his starting roster with 3 - 4 years of top 20 talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
