Falcons request interview with Joe Brady for HC job

[Logic]

Honestly, I haven't seen enough from Joe Brady yet to feel totally heartbroken if he gets a job elsewhere.

Don't get me wrong: I like a lot of what I've seen so far, and it seems like he may have a bright future. But he hasn't exactly proven himself to be an indispensable, unreplaceable, brilliant offensive mind that should have Bills fans weeping if he departs.

If he gets the OC job here for next year, great. If he's hired away, so be it. I wouldn't hate a fresh mind with fresh ideas being brought in. There should be no shortage of capable offensive minds champing at the bit to work with Josh Allen.

Finally a legit excuse if we lose.  Not so fast "No excuses" crowd! 

[Big Blitz]

They aren’t hiring him.  They just pulled the “get a young OC as HC” and it was a disaster.

 

They should hire Vrabel.

I mean, have you seen his hair cut?

If you were Brady and had your choice of OC jobs between the Bills (Josh Allen) or Falcons (QB ?) which would you think would be better for your career ?

 

I think If Brady is offered the OC job in Buffalo, he'd stay rather than work under Chuckles Belichick.

I will add this to my top 500 reasons why I am giving the NFL

it's Friday night. The game plan is in and we don't know when he'll interview. It's not a distraction

[Dr.Sack]

Brady doesn’t want the job. He will have way more clout in 4 weeks. 

[Aussie Joe]

Out of all the things I am worried about this week… this is about number 47 

[JerseyBills]

I HATE this rule

 

No team should be allowed to interview any coach until season officially ends. it's common sense and ridiculous

This comes up every year and every year it’s the same conclusion - why do they allow this to happen during the playoffs. There should be absolutely no interviewing of any personnel during the off season. They need to make a rule that you cannot start interviewing coaches until after the teams are eliminated from the playoffs.

What if they win Sunday night? Then it would certainly become a distraction, no? Whether they admit it or not, preparing for, or even knowing that, the biggest job interview of your life is upcoming would certainly be a distraction. 

[Steptide]

Didn't the bills try and change this rule a few years back after daboll had some requests during the playoffs?

Rooney Rule?

[FireChans]

Have they interviewed EPA GAWD Kenny Dorsey yet?

[sunshynman]

All interviews with teams still in playoffs are remote/virtual until they are eliminated.

 

We cannot block it, nor should we. Only if it was for same position. 

 

They did interview Brady in 2021 before hiring Smith. So they have real interest. 
 

It may be due diligence, or Billcheat wanted to much power.

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. 

Didn't we use that logic with Dorsey too? It's not like our offense has been lighting up it, it's just that Brady loosened the reigns on Allen, which any of us would have done the same. I'm not ragging on Brady, but I'm not overly impressed and would love the opportunity to get a great, established OC.

lol, rhetorical question

Uh oh,  someone's feelings get hurt? 

[gonzo1105]

This very well could be a hey we're going to hire Belichick as the HC but we'd like for you to come down and interview you and give you the OC job with the opportunity to take over for him after he retires. I could see something like that going down since he's the Bills interim OC and isn't guaranteed to keep the OC job even though it appears likely he would.

Just curious how you respond to posts when  pretty much everytime a black assistant gets an HC interview and some asshat immediately dismisses the interviewee as a Rooney Rule candidate. Happened quite a bit earlier this week when Frazier was interviewed.

And the same answer comes up every year - there isn't enough time in the calendar to delay it. 4 weeks to shortlist, interview, select a coach. Hire an entire staff. Evaluate your entire roster. Then negotiate contracts with the agents of pending FAs you want to keep. Then evaluate and decide which FAs from outside you want to target. 

 

Can you move free agency back? Sure. Then you have to move the draft back. And then you run out of space for rookie camps before the one month a year that coaches and personnel people actually get off between mid-June and camp opening in mid-July. 

 

If you want to have no interviews until after the playoffs then you need to lose something else out of the calendar. The obvious candidate is pre-season which would allow camp to start later meaning you could move the break back and give people all of July off. But the NFL won't do that.

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. 

 

That's cool and all, until you look around at the candidates out there and find out Brady is one of the top options as it is.

 

There's been such a rush to push Offensive coaches up the ladder and make them HCs that we're to the point most of the proven talent is gone and already in HC or OC jobs.
