Marshall Faulk on the Falcons Choosing Raheem Morris over Bill Belichick | The Rich Eisen Show 

As a Rams fan, Falcons got a good one who will get the best out of all that talent.

I miss seeing Marshall Faulk on TV .. How forgot how good he is.

I miss Marshall on TV. He is a smart/thoughtful person that was awesome to see every Sunday.

Who knows where the Falcons would be right now if Blank had made the right choice and gave Quinn his walking papers and promoted Shanahan to HC.

I'll come back and rewatch this video week 8 of next season.

Raheem has experience in defense and offense is another factor in his hire.

Not many players who ever played know as much about football as Faulk. He taught Payton Manning so much.

As a Falcons season ticket holder, I’m pleased with the hire! Bill was too old! We would be looking for another coach in a couple of years. Give him a chance before you dismiss him….RISE UP!!!

Famous SB coaches (Seifert, Parcels, Johnson, Shanahan) do not do well in their post SB stint. No coach has ever one a SB with a different team. Plus, Bill is just old.

Apparently he interviewed well and was persuaded by other people to consider Raheem over Bill.

Bill wanted control over everything. He sucks at drafting.

Bill probably asked for ultimate power. Wanted all his own guy again. Only gonna be there for maybe three years.

a GREAT SHOW ON RICH EISEN’S TURF

"... we're moving on to the contract. " lolololol

I personally think that we are starting to understand that the Patriot way was actually the Brady way and without Tom it's just the grumpy way. Raheem is always up beat and younger and in a city like Atlanta he knows what the fans want. 28-3 means something to Raheem the Saints rivalry is understood. He was the better choice

Great interview and I’m happy with the hire. Let’s go

Why are you guys deliberately ignoring what is directly in front of you? BB wants too damn much control over everything and even the team that fired him (basically), and NO other teams offered to interview him & his terrible personnel decisions with all of that power in New England. What is so hard to figure? Why haven't you reflected on the fact that NO damn other team even offered and his last few years of futility?

That is a great Ving impression

The Falcons asked Bill why he should be the next head coach? He leaned gently towards them and said 28-3😂😂

As a Rams fan I really miss Marshall, he was a fantastic, super smart sports commentator.

That was a pretty good Ving Rhames impression 😂

every six seconds marshall: what did bill ask for?

As a Falcon fan, I never wanted Belichick. I don't like his record without Brady, or his personel moves. Harbaugh was my favorite. Raheem was in my second tier.

Marshall Faulk is one of the most thoughtful and insightful voices re: the NFL.

Atlanta is the only team that interviewed Bill. To me that says a lot.

🤔 It's funny how ALL of the former players current coaches and executives ie; Tomlin, Les Sneed talk about how this is a good hire but some Boston pods?or even in the ATL sports talk 93.7 don't like the hire??? 92.9 in the AM does tho.Morris has 21yrs of experience in the NFL coaching ranks!!!

People realized it was brady not bill winning also teams want mcvay coordinators, Staley is the only one who hasn't succeeded at being a head coach the rest are killin it as head coaches

Why would anyone hire Bill? He left the Patriots a disaster, just like he left Cleveland n both led to being fired. What was the difference during the middle 18 years??🤔

Bill made it known to Blank that Rich was a problem and Blank listened. Bill probably wanted to overhaul the front office even more. But Terry has done a good job with bringing in players. On top of all of that, Blank doesn't have a lot of time left to win. So can we win now with a few key players and coaches? I think so.

This dude is something else

Patriot Way is not for everyone.

Morris was simply the better long term move. While BB is a “defensive genius”, that value does not outweigh his other fingerprints on the organization - GM, draft, nepotism staffing, etc. Falcons did not want the “Browns” version of BB sans Brady.

It may be/sound petty as hell but I really do wonder if 28-3 made a difference.

Infrastructure of The Flying McKays (aka Falcons)won’t let them build a consistent playoff contender

They interviewed like 14 people so they chose Morris over quite a few people

Age caught up with Bill just like it does with all of us.

My speculation on Bill Belichick is a combination of the power structure and his age. There is a lot to consider with Bill Belichick for a team owner. Bill is NOT an analytics guy, but teams have developed analytics departments in their organization. A teams hesitation can be explained in an analogy where everyone is trying to get the best 5G smart phone, and Bill Belichick is a 3G flip phone. Yes, the flip phone is great for calls and text, and the battery seems to last longer, but cell phone networks have moved beyond 3G.

I’ll wait and see next year how many wins the falcons will get And go from there to judge

Atlanta doesn' have a QB so the results will be the same as it was in Cleveland and NE (without brady). That's why they didn't hire him.

Whenever I see this, I always wonder if it came down to money and control. He may have wanted to much say in other things

Come to find out that Bill was never interviewed or offered

Guys .... It was Rich McKay. Period

Come on we can be pretty solid knowing what BB was asking for, he wanted total control of player personnel and drafting just as he had in NE that wore out over the last 4 yrs.

Great as a falcons fan here's another year of the media vilifying us for not hiring someone They did the same thing we didn't Spend every penny we had in cap space on Lamar Jackson

Marshall as Marsellus Wallace = AWESOME!

Bill must’ve been trying to replace Bijom and Pitts with some undrafted free agents.

Why are ppl leaving these weird comments about Marshall Faulk? I’ve seen several,in broken English of course,saying how wise and how he’s taught so many ppl so many things and other strange stuff,gotta be a bot 🤷‍♂️

no, I would say raheem probably trusted the gm was willing to be collaborative with the gm and bill probably wanted gm powers

Multiple jobs back in the day for head coaches, Denny Green, Lovie Smith, Tony Dungy. That's just to name a few. Don't use that card dogg !

For me it probably boiled down to the simple question for both candidates of what went wrong and what would you do differently. Belichek's ego might have kept him from answering the way Raherm did. We probably will never know though.

I was waiting for Rich to expand on his praise of Bellichik by saying, "He beat you and the Rams. I mean, who does that?"

Probably he wanted McKay gone and Parton wouldn’t do it

I luv the hire,

I said the same thing.BILL TURNED MR BLANK OFF

Bill's done nothing without Brady and wants total control for no more than 2-3 years...not sure why it's so difficult for people to understand the turnoff and lack of interest in Bill from other teams. Raheem is the perfect fit for our team and city.

I think Bill's last few seasons might be who he is now so why would you want to take a chance on him . Especially at his age

Hey for what it's worth he didn't get a fair shot with the bucks. I believe he is a good coach let's see what happens. He's got a pretty good roster to work with lot of talent. We will see how good a motivator he is.

Folk, forget how poor Morris was as Interim HC at ATL

The Owner of the Team talking with a Possible GM/ Coach on a Boat …… about leading his people’s. Wow. So Not 2024.

Bill wanted full control and blank chose mckay over the greatest winner

W Hire

After Sunday if Baltimore shuts down Pat/Andy..... Mike Macdonald is #1 to DC and I'll be all in

Bill has the experience but he hasnt been winning post Tom Brady

What was Bill asking for? Total control would be my guess and considering how bad he is at choosing players and the burnt remains he left in NE it does make sense why people would be hesitant. “He’s the greatest coach ever!!” Ya, with Brady as his QB but Brady isn’t going to Atlanta to prop him up

If Bill was such the obvious 'no-brainer' pick... why haven't any other teams reached for him??? 🤔🤔🤔.. Ok, if the Bears don't draft Caleb, will all the other teams pass on him??? It's way easier to believe that maybe the guy just doesn't interview well, he hasn't had to apply in decades.

I am worried about the hype Raheem is receiving. He better choose solid Coordinators and coaches o support him

It could have been revenge. Oh man. It went to the last second. Sorry Bill. You lost.

Ummm, Raheem, not Raheed

Are we over looking bills personality with media, are owners having trouble with it.

The Browns were built before Belichick got there.

Bill was up 28-3 before he ultimately lost the job to Morris. Bill was nothing without Tom, and Tom did it without Bill. The media needs to get off Atlantas wang.

If anybody thinks Raheem Morris is a better coach than Bill Belichick your high...

I don't understand why you're so clueless on this. It's obvious that BB wanted more power than they were willing to give.

Is BB bringing Brady with him to the interviews? If not them rings with the pats mean jack sh**

He won those Super Bowls with Brady! The team was NOTHING without him!!!

Morris is below .400 as head coach. He went 4-7 as an interim in Atlanta. His vaunted defenses haven't ranked in the top half of the league in over a decade. Atlanta won't be contender with Morris no matter who they get at QB.

What did the Falcons have to lose by giving Belichick that power? They haven't won ever doing it their way.

Atlanta made a good move. Mr. Morris can be manipulated because he wants the job. Every NFL Owner and General Manager WANTS just a tad of power, but Mr. Belichick wants ultimate control. It worked with Mr. Kraft because Belichick and Brady worked great together as a team and Tom contributed to decision making and "sometimes" Belichick listened. If I was owner, I would not permit ANY coach to have ultimate control and I wager that is why Belichick may never coach again in the NFL.

Arthur blank is a terrible owner

Bill asked for too much money, too much control and too much length of contract. Arthur Blank said NO THANKS BILL!!!

Marshall, you sound confused as hell, you say it was a great hire then you turn around and say Bill was a better choice, I swear most of these ex players need to go in concussion protocol. And by the way, ALL OF THE OTHER teams passed on Bill , so why not criticize them as well. This so called GOAT is unemployed, so who is the problem? At least give the Falcons some credit for at least talking to him. Why not go after the others who really said “ Hell no” to Bill, they didn’t even want him in the building . The Falcons interviewed him TWICE ! It seems likely that Bill blew the damn interview. It’s reminds me of someone who hasn’t interviewed in years, and when they finally get a shot at an opportunity that they may be overqualified for, they screw it up ( been there and done that ). One more thing, what has Bill done without Tom ? Why was New England so ready for him to go ? How the hell did Matt Jones regress so much after a stellar rookie year ? Enough said .

Bill is a bust without Brady.

I'm a Falcon fan but I think the bigger question is this: Why has no other team been interviewed Belichick? The answer is simple. Doing things Bill's way means firing everybody, making tons of roster changes, and then establishing whatever it is Bill wants to establish. He runs everything. No team in the league wants that. No team. None. There ya go. This clip makes the Falcons look like Rich McKay was the sticking point, which is stupid. Bill wants all the power anywhere he goes. He needs to be humbled. Failure is supposed to humble people. His ego is far too big. The past ain't winning Bill any future Super Bowls. Rings don't win rings. He knows that but he doesn't want to change. That's up to him.

deral Way that guy okay we need him our team Dallas cowboys next season Dallas cowboys next week okay I mean it okay 0:45

Alot of coaches in general don't get a second chance why label it

Who else thinks Aaron Glenn is going to the Titans and Belichick is going to be the new Lions DC?

hired arthur smith probably thinking he's young too. Look at how that turned out. Keep telling yourself you made the right hire Atlanta. Your team always make the worst decisions.

I can't to find out who the falcons real coach is when Morris gets fired in 4 years.

Maybe Blank was serious when he said he was a character first man when it comes to hiring. That $500,000 fine from the NFL for cheating is one heck of a blot on Belichick's record.

Yall know he was the coach for the falcons already! U know he has a worse record then Arthur smith u know his a defensive coordinator u know the defense wouldn’t stand a chance in the play offs right now! We don’t care if his black or white in the city we want to win!!

...Another new HC. Excuse me while I hit the restart button. The Falcons are in perpetual "begin again" mode.

Youngry

I like Marshall, but let's cut the B.S. Bill has been a terrible coach and run the Patriots into the ground without Brady. Bill would do anything to have a Head Coaching gig to pursue the record that means EVERYTHING to him.

He is also too old. You'll be searching for a new coach in about three years. Also, the Falcons are still not over that Super Bowl collapse.

🤦🏼‍♂️

its a new era, team are going with young coaches and diversity.. Its all good for the league

Stop with the race card

I stopped listening when he pulled out the race card. What an absolute clown.

DEI has reached its ultimate form. 😂😂😂😂 Now go sit down with those two black pilots and enjoy the ride.

Falcons screwed up. BB could show you the ropes while getting team going, and having someone take over after he decides to leave. So yes guys its a no brainer.
