Falcons request interview with Joe Brady for HC job

[BuffaloBillyG]

I'm pretty shocked by this. Wonder if they are scouting ahead for him as OC if the Bills don't keep him in the position.

[Dubie54]

That's the likely strategy on their part.

[No_Matter_What]

They probably just misunderstood Rooney rule or something...

[Doc Brown]

Gosh darn it.

[somnus00]

That's a nice little distraction for our OC before the divisional playoff game. Thank you, falcons. 

[JackKemp]

We don’t need this type of distraction right now. Is Atlanta going to interview everybody? They will probably choose poorly again.

That’s surprising to be sure. They seemed locked onto Belichick 

[HOUSE]

It's the Rooney Rule

[Donuts and Doritos]

We should say not until next week. Don't need another distraction on a short week. If they're serious about HC, good for him. If it's just for OC, we should lock him up & it's BS if they aren't being honest & saying what their real intentions are.

The White Billionaire Rule, must interview inexperienced white coaches to satisfy their personal criteria.

Is that the one where you need to interview someone who looks like Mickey Rooney?

[Xwnyer]

I really hate our coaches getting distracted from the job at hand.   Go interview Chiefs coaches

[klos63]

He seems good,  but an OC job opening to coach Allen, Diggs, Kincaid,  Cook... would attract the best of the best.  

I'd consider it a tremendous opportunity for the team.

The question to him: "If we hire Beli-CHEAT as head coach and directory of Lying, cheating and dirty tricks would you willing to sign as OC knowing that he knows little about offense and will take blame on offense even though you will not have a top level QB on team?"

What are the rules on when the Bills must allow this to happen?

[Demongyz]

How about after the playoffs?

[BlazinBill]

Neat

We’d have to assume they can bring in the right guy. They’ve missed before and were fortunate enough to have made the good to decision to have Brady on staff. 
 

I don’t consider Brady leaving a tremendous opportunity. I consider Brady having a full offseason and year with Allen a tremendous opportunity. 
 

Another OC just creates more learning and lack of consistency for Allen. Really NOTHING seems appealing about Brady leaving.

To my knowledge, the only limit is that they just put into a place a rule (starting this year) that no interviews of active coaching personnel can happen until after the divisional games.
