Let’s Get Serious About the Falcons Job
NFL January 18th. 2008, 12:31pm
Nobody wants it. Marty Chokenheimer laughed in the Dirty Bird’s face! The taint of Mike Vick lingers. Clueless Arthur won’t be looking at college coaches after getting burned by Pat Forde’s buddy, Bobby Petrino. The coach in question must work well with a fanbase (and players, apparently) that excels in apathy, indifference, and every other adjective you can think of that conveys “passivity.”
Legit options at this point: Anyone who has ever spent more than eight minutes conversing with Bill Belichick, Larry the Cable guy, Linday Lohan’s coke dealer, DeAngelo Hall’s butler, Mean Gene Okerlund, Bruce Coslet, and Newman (who was a sturdy left guard in his day).
Not even we would wish this mess on Darren McFadden.

It’s been a good run, but I might have to change the name of my blog.
January 18th, 2008 at 12:37 PM
lets not and say we did.

hey, wait, im lindsay lohan’s coke dealer.

Every Vikings fan right now is chanting “Mike Tice! Mike Tice! Mike Tice!”
January 18th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
i shop at lowe’s now because i hate the falcons so much
January 18th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Hey at least Tice had them in the playoffs. Who doesn’t like 9-7
January 18th, 2008 at 12:45 PM
I’m apathetic about the Falcons coaching search. Which makes me the same as their fan base.
January 18th, 2008 at 12:46 PM
How ’bout Brian Billick
January 18th, 2008 at 12:48 PM
Hey irish, Lowes just moved in across from Home Depot in my area. I have never been in one.
Is Lowes better?
January 18th, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Owl, how is the traffic today?

CBH49er brought up an interesting subject. Does anyone here actually know a Falcons fan? I was in the Navy in 99 when Denny G. blew the fucking game, I remember a few guys I worked with were from ATL, and so they rooted for them, but I never have actually MET a true Falcons fan.
Is this like Nessie or Sasquatch situation?
January 18th, 2008 at 12:53 PM
I wouldn’t wish that on Tice. Dude did pretty well considering his support.
January 18th, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Owl X – at this point I would welcome the bitter beer face guy with open arms! No earthly idea who we’re going to end up with at this point

Is Nick Saban available?
January 18th, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Marty Chokenheimer? Clueless Arthur?
Did I stumble onto a Gawker blog or something?

I don’t care for Hardware stores but my Dad loves doing that crap and he switched from Home Depot to Lowes. He thinks Lowes has better customer service.
Basically, Home Depot is risking becoming Hechingers’s. Hechinger’s was the big place, then Home Depot replaced them, and from a lot of people I am hearing Lowe’s is replacing them
January 18th, 2008 at 12:59 PM
@cbh – I would agree with your dad on the CS comparison.
Does anyone else think Arthur is wishing he hadn’t canned Mora?
January 18th, 2008 at 1:03 PM
Why the hell is Arthur not calling Dan Reeves and begging him to come in run his shit? Not as coach, but as Chief Dirty Bird. The guy would bring instant class and credibility to their sorry asses, he’s a native son, and he already won there.

falcons need jerry glanville.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:07 PM
i never knew up until i think three-four years ago that Blank started Home Depot. Dont get me wrong, what a fucking franchise to start up. They are all over the place like Wally Worlds you know. But Lowes is better i think if your a fix it / DIY kind of person.
speaking of Home Depot though, anyone else see Tony Stewarts sweet mullet.

traffic?

How about Jim Fassel? The man was a good Giants coach, went to a Super Bowl and has a winning record as a coach. He helped develop Sean Payton and John Fox as coaches plus got a lot out of Kerry Collins. He hasn’t gotten a sniff at a Head Coach job since and got screwed by his buddy Billick in Baltimore when the shitty QBs he drafted didn’t play well under him. And that whole country club thing is completely overrated. You don’t win 2 division titles and make the playoffs 3 times by running a lax operation.

The Falcons job is radioactive, and the only quality coach that’ll want to go there is someone who needs to rehab: Jim Fassel, Mike Tice, Rich Kotite, Bruce Coslet, Buddy Hackett, etc.

what, too soon?
January 18th, 2008 at 1:23 PM
Buddy Ryan
January 18th, 2008 at 1:30 PM
Da Coach.
His head would explode mid way through the 3rd quarter of the first game of the season.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:31 PM
Might as well make DeAngelo Hall the coach, since he’ll just piss and moan at the first of an authority figure challenging him.
That’s what happens when your owner is seen wheeling around the QB like some kind of bellhop.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Joe Paterno. Please, take him!
January 18th, 2008 at 1:41 PM
TBL, +1 for the Mean Gene reference.
Bobby the Brain is available for GM duty.
January 18th, 2008 at 1:51 PM
i shop at lowe’s now because i hate the falcons so much
I shop at Lowes because from what I see from the Home Depot commercials, no white men work there.
And I thought that the whole Falcons thing was resolved last week when ESPN said that Pete Carroll was talking to them instead of talking about the Reggie Bush book
/broken record–sorry

I would wish this on McFadden. Let’s see, he should have been ineligible for that bowl game for that new car and he got in that fight recently. Sounds like PacMan Jr in training.
January 18th, 2008 at 2:13 PM
Name Jon Provost the head coach because it’s the right thing to do. Good to see the Falcons improve so much without the worst QB (if you listen to some people) in history in Michael Vick. Also good to see the Texans in the AFC Championship game with that All Pro, Matt Schaub.
January 18th, 2008 at 2:14 PM
I’m still wondering what Mike Vick’s taint has to do with this…
January 18th, 2008 at 2:15 PM
JamJam, you’re cluelessness is reflected in your stupid name.
January 18th, 2008 at 2:23 PM
Ray Handley will gladly leave his post in Plumbing to take over the job.
January 18th, 2008 at 2:28 PM
Fact: Dwight K. Schrute is available.
January 18th, 2008 at 3:27 PM
What does Mike Vick’s taint have to do with the available coaching job? Are there specific responsibilities regarding it?
January 19th, 2008 at 2:54 AM
Darrel-Falcon’s fans can type? Wow, I did not know that.
January 19th, 2008 at 9:17 AM
Schaub had a better year than Vick. Probably will next year too.
