Falcons Fan MVP 3,948 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 From what I heard Terry Fontenont was paired with Nathaniel Hackett now there are rumors he may be paired with Brady. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joey563 440 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don't like it. As much as the questions of "what has he done" and "who really did the work", this is a ton more prevalent with TF than with Eric B. TF was behind Loomis AND Peyton; this is concerning to me because Loomis was the one who was asked to GM for the Pelicans (which tells me he was the main one building the Saints), the saints Pro free agents havn't really been that light years better than most other teams, and do we really want Loomis's way of doing things here (bounty gate, eaves dropping on opposition allegations, and almost yearly cap ****)?

If he is there he is learning and is prepared for the job. He isn't Loomis and the Falcons ownership is not as permissive as the swampers. He will do a great job. Don't worry. Just go get the right coach to make this team a winner again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are right. Im not feeling it. Id rather have Holmes or Smith; granted, none of these 3 have been perfect but Holmes and Smith have seemed to be more successful.

Let's see it repeated! Also the new HC is going to be much younger than Mike Smith was when he became Falcons HC. Smitty like most older coaches was more set in his ways. The new younger coaching candidates may be more innovative and fresh minded schematically. RedandBlack4ever and Jesus 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malachore 9,514 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Why do people keep connecting him to Brady? Because they worked in the same state at one point? JDaveG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brady worked for the team as an offensive assistant for 2 years while Fontenot was there. But that's it. I think it's the loosest of all possible connections. Also, Brady is not coaching in the playoffs, and also has not gotten a 2nd interview that has been reported. I think we can cross him off the list.

bossFALCON™ 2,214 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 **** we got so lucky in 08. Think about it first time coach Gm and qb turned the team into a perennial playoff team for a 5 year run. It didn’t finish off with a sb... but gosh we were **** of fortunate. Could you imagine if we ended up with fontenot Brady and fields? Oddly enough I could see that working.

In fact, as Fontenot news and ATL grew, then Holmes gets announced. He could’ve pushed Holmes to DET even. We don’t know lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
