DonOfThemBirds 17,343 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I hope Hackett gets a 2nd interview as well. Was talking with a poster(sorry can't recall the poster right now) yesterday about how he has the Packers as the top redzone offense. red falcon and Run 'n' Shoot 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDaveG 41,461 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 9 minutes ago, g-dawg said: so which of the 3 GM candidates go w/ Arthur Smith? I have the same question. Ordinarily you'd think "they brought him in first -- they must like him." Obviously they like him or he wouldn't get a 2nd interview, but the truth is, Bieniemy and Hackett can't be interviewed right now. So we could still be waiting for our guy and just doing due diligence. The only good news for me is we brought Smith in and nobody has mentioned Joe Brady getting a 2nd interview.

Brady may be the better OC but there is very little chance he is ready to be a HC. Of course I am sure many probably said the same about McVay but still think he was more seasoned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JDaveG 41,461 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I just posted a thread on Pederson and how we ought to interview him, but I have to say, if they want Smith, they need to extend an offer. This is the part of the negotiation where you let him know he's your guy, have the owner call him, have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones call him, have McKay call him. All to say "we just wanted you to know we are interested in extending you an offer and want you to be the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons." Because if other teams want him too, they are doing those things, and someone isn't going to let him exit the building. JohnnyFranchise 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chris2010 92 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Now that it is looking like Smith might be the front runner I could see us pulling the trigger on him soon with so many other teams involved as well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see smith hired before our GM candidate can be announced due to playoffs. My guess and hope is Holmes. IMO that’s a home run tandem.

GATXBOI 1,916 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My final choice Holmes and Hackett. Pure WCO connection. Holmes is a monster in the mid rounds of draft and keying in on free agents. Without a QB like Brees still drawing in free agents that's what I like about homes. Fontenot knows how to built a right now contender with a quality QB in place. **** both are awesome choices. My choice is Holmes because he worked the draft without a 1st since Goff. As for my choice of Hackett or Brady because there offense is unknown. Smith offense will be prepared for now.

I still prefer Smith, but Holmes-Hackett would be a solid team too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
