We'll see what comes out of this press conference today to see if he plans to continue. I would be surprised if he does not.pdub wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 10:53 am He's winning the NFC South if Atlanta lands Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins or Justin Fields.
Or if they get fortunate if they trade up to land one of the top 3 QBs.
His defense is set. They are pretty young.
He has a stud RB and a top TE ( that's under utilized ).
Just get to the playoffs and see what happens.
He is also just 14 wins away from being the winningest coach of all time. We might think that's superficial but if you're there in that position, you're thinking about it. He could get that in two years in ATL.
Finally, Bill is a stubborn motherfucker. I'm sure a good part of him wants to thumb his nose at the doubters - and that could even include the Pats organization.
Grab Cousins they winning 14 games quick.
Devil's advocate Gutter says.....
* The Falcons could grab Mahomes and they aren't winning 14 games quick.
* Cousins is 35 (will be 36 before the season starts) coming off an Achilles injury. Wilson and Fields are huge question marks. Could be All-Pros on the Falcons but probably a better chance they could/would be bottom 20 QBs.
* His defense isn't set. His defense is (or at least was) in the lower 50% of the league.
* What does age have to do with anything? Yeah, he could work with and develop young guys but I'm pretty sure he would rather have 11 35 year old All-Pros on his defense than 11 24 year old whatever players. He currently has 1 2nd team All-Pro player on the defense.
* Stud RB? Who Robinson or Allgeier? Neither are top 10 RB
* Top TE? Who? Pitts or Smith? Neither are a "top" TE.
* Glass half empty, the Falcons were 15 points away from being 3-14. Right? Yes, I know they lost close games too but facts are facts.
