Fernando C. Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 We have 2 or 3 interviews... there are 4 or more GMs openings as of right now... so I am wondering can we interview anyone under contract in another team?? or we have to wait?? cause I cannot get my head around the fact that we have 3 formal interviews...

JDaveG Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 If they're employed by a team right now, I think we can't interview until their season is over unless we have permission of the team. For playoff teams, that means it might be after the Super Bowl, though a lot of times they will allow us to do an interview. New England wouldn't let Dimitroff come to Atlanta in 2008, but they did allow him to do a videoconference interview. I imagine a lot of that will be going on once the regular season is over.

Ok ... this is not ideal.. cause we are going to have to interview GMs and Coaches at the same time... and there are just a few coaches in my list... Arthur Smith and Daboll after that they are just mehhh FalconDawg28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Smith and Daboll after that they are just mehhh The thing is there are probably candidates we are not aware of who might be great candidates (or might be absurd choices). I agree with your list -- I want Smith or Daboll, in that order. But I can see us honing in on others. I'm still not ruling out Morris hanging on, though I think he's pretty much run out of luck in that regard and I certainly prefer bringing in a solid offensive coach.

The GM candidates who are reportedly taking interviews are the ones who are currently unemployed by an NFL team. JDaveG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Terry Fontenot from the Saints is the only one that is currently employed outside of the in-house Falcon candidates.

Is that right? I'm trying to remember everyone they talked about. The guy from the Rams (Brad-something I think?) and Reggie McKenzie were mentioned. I think they're both still employed. I hope we don't hire John Dorsey so I'm trying to forget his name came up 😂 DonOfThemBirds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I don't think Fontenot has been interviewed either, has he? I thought you were referring to all the candidates we were looking at, not just those who had interviewed. Sorry if I misunderstood.

I know the Falcons wanted to talk to him. I bet the Falcons have interviewed a few candidates that we won't know about until long after the Falcons officially hire a GM. Quite a few of these interviews tend to stay quiet for awhile. JDaveG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
