You think you know a guy … To be that one person who can anticipate his moves, think his thoughts and feel his feelings.
And yet it’s proven impossible.
Still, he remains a riddle inside an enigma wrapped in a mystery to me.
A Matryoshka Doll of unpredictability.
Which makes it highly doubtful he’s interested in taking over a tear down project.
One of the downtrodden franchises he’s been linked to like Atlanta or Carolina.
Major DIY reno projects are for the young.
Guys who don’t mind spending all weekend pricing out 4x8 sheets of drywall and swinging a sledgehammer.
A 72 year old legend deserves a turnkey project.
But the Dallas job never became available.
Neither did Philadephia’s.
Accompanied newshe’d interviewed for the Falcons jobalready.
Who could’ve guessed it?
Consider me surprised it’s gotten even this far between Belichick and Atlanta.
Which raises more questions than answers:
Why the Falcons?This is the most confounding mystery of all.
Not that the Falcons are terrible, necessarily.
One season afterthe entire divisionfinished under-.500.
So what’s the appeal, other than winning this division isn’t an insurmountable task?
The Falcons aren’t outstanding in any area to speak of.
But Jessie Bates III is their only Pro Bowler.
They were 26th in points scored and 18th in points allowed.
And they’re drafting 8th, which puts them out of range of the the Big 3 QB prospects.
When Bill Parcells was between jobs, he always landed on the team that had the No.
1 pick so he could build around it.
That’s not the case here.
Simply put, the Falcons are just sort of … there.
Not much of a fanbase to speak of.
Not the most popular football team in their home state.
Doomed to mostly play Sundays at 1pm, even with Belichick.
Why is a second interview necessary?
What are his strengths and weaknesses?
How he intends to improve the team?
What makes him believe he’s Atlanta Falcons material?
Where does he see himself in five years?
How well does he work with others?
If he was a tree, what kind of tree would he be?
No one’s professional life has been more open to examination in our lifetimes.
Who could still be coaching for the man who fired him.
Then again, he’s made a career out of doing things no one expected.
To go along with this:
