Bill Simmons said on eponymous podcast:
I mean they have a point ... what coaching staff would want Bill?
.
'The Atlanta thing, there's a lot of buzz going around right now about the Atlanta job, that the executives that are there are trying - and I've heard this, I'm telling you from so many different people - basically Arthur Blank wants to hire Bill Belichick, and all the front office people in Atlanta don't want to hire Belichick because it's like any big company - sports franchises are like microcosms of all big companies,' Simmons said on his eponymous podcast.
The people that run the franchise, they just want to keep their jobs, they're in job preservation mode, so they're like ''Maybe we hire Raheem Morris.'' Yeah, you hire Raheem Morris, he's young, you'll have your job for five more years.' 'You bring in Belichick - you think Belichick's going to listen to like [John] McKay's kid … or [general manager Terry] Fontenot. He's going to be like, ''I'm going to do my own thing.'''
Atlanta Falcons front office 'doesn't want to hire Bill Belichick'
Blank is said to 'desperately' trying to get Belichick to be his next head coach, eight years after the Patriots defeated the Falcons by making the largest comeback (28-3) in Super Bowl history.
