Michael Lombardi Reacts to The Atlanta Falcons Snubbing Bill Belichick for Raheem Morris!

[@miket104]

Michael is 1000% Correct. This was not for the betterment of the team. This was about managements self preservation. This is an owner afraid to pull the trigger. They keep their job for another yr. This is why the Falcons will never be a team that’s in the hunt. McKay is clown show….

[@user-jc6pr5el5g]

1000% wrong. It's not 'self-preservation' because Blank could have moved on from McKay and his team in favor of BB IF he thought that would produce better results. While ATL has been middling since McKay arrived, at least over the last few years the team has produced more consistency and less embarrassing moments than Bill did in NE. And per my note above, Bill floundered the last 4 years with everything in place exactly the way he wanted it, in a familiar organization, with his hand-picked lieutenants (and children)...why would anyone think he'd IMPROVE going to unfamiliar terrain. If he coaches ever again, I'll be surprised.

[@Dave-nm8uf]

This is one of Belichik's puppets so I don't take him seriously. This sounded like a personal attack against the Falcons more than anything else. Watch how bias and one-sided his analysis of the Falcons be moving forward.

[@future_teknokrat7585]

How long is Bill gonna coach? Who would be his successor? Belichek would have ripped up everything only to coach for a few more years. If he were a little younger, then I would see the point.

[@brucereid7165]

So this guy is mad bc no one wants to hire Bill. Get over it.

[@iamcedricpowell8051]

😅 well he makes a compelling argument. Where is he wrong?

[@yukotrey9422]

@@iamcedricpowell8051the problem is that Belichick post Brady is trash, and his “ vision” while he acted as GM tanked the patriot. Actual bad vision there’s a reason why no other time interviewed him

[@zechariahcameron3645]

​@@yukotrey9422that's bull

[@markigity]

Since he is doing the bidding for BB and speaking on the structure of Atl why he didn't say what happened in those last 3 years in new England and the structure over there🤔

[@OMTstudios]

What about the other 30 teams that didnt hire Bill? People always mad at atlanta. No one else bid on Lamar either.

[@atlboy2002]

Exactly! I’m a Falcons fan and am happy we went with Raheem Morris. I see him having longevity here and building a great culture, can’t say that for BB. BB worked in NE and they had a good run, but now it’s on to something new.

[@Ch0sen1NE776]

Say that in 5 years ​@@atlboy2002

[@abrahamsannoh]

Thank you Michael, for your objective and honest take on the matter!! Couldn't agree more!! 💯🙏🏾✨️ Bill's being feared by others based on perception from the media on Bill!!

[@millennial953]

Terry in 3 years has won more games than Bill’s past 3 years soooo this guy is clearly delusional

[@floridapmi]

The Falcons came to the realization that Tom Brady wasn't coming out of retirement.

[@T2L8F4Luv]

Yeah!!!I watched him draft the last 4 years. And Belichick accomplished all these Super Bowls with subpar QB ing. You're so right. What expert commentary -s

[@manimavuso]

Please post more Lombardi Line 🙏🏿🇺🇸

[@JayDias10]

Speculation is a drug

[@Dave-nm8uf]

Falcons fans don't expect to get a fair shake from this guy next season.

[@oldnational1825]

The combination of Bill and whoever else has sucked since Brady left. He said the Falcons won 7 games last year... How MANY GAMES DID NEW ENGLAND WIN LAST YEAR?!?!?!

[@user-jc6pr5el5g]

Michael, what was the vision in NE the last several years, including BB wanting to let go of Brady even earlier than he did and go with Jimmy G??? Garbage, that's what. This "greatest coach of all time" shit is wearing thin...Bill won those Super Bowls, no one can take them away, and he deserves credit for what happened in the past - he doesn't get a pass forever into his 70s to be considered still great. Don Shula's record was the epitome of mediocrity in the last decade of his career...should someone have hired him after 1995? What makes anyone think that Bill would do better in ATL than he did the last 4 years in NE? He had a chance in those years to produce in a place where he was totally 'made', everything is familiar, fans and media worship him, ownership is 100% supportive...he failed. But somehow he is going to be better with a new team, a new front office, a whole new life for him??? Give me a break. Bill Belichick is washed up and the whole league sees it. Arthur Blank was probably just interviewing him for recon or as a favor to his agent. The Commanders aren't even bringing him in! That tells you all you need to know.

[@T2L8F4Luv]

Yeah! This is Atlanta Falcons issue. WHEN his recent employer JUST FIRED HIM to hire their LB coach AND 7 - SEVEN!!! & neither of the other 2 Openings are even considering interviewing him. Get your head OUT OF Beluchick's arse. When 7 other clubs didn't even interview him, they didn't want this kind of BS to answer to. NOBODY ELSE wanted any part of that control freak that took the Patriots to where they are the last 4 years. For You - it's you're infatuation with a past & not the present. Lets see you answer why the Patriots - that knows him better than anyone else. Hmmm!!

[@future_teknokrat7585]

Mikey my boy, no one will ever say the Falcons are better off without Belichek. But not having a quarterback and no assurances on how long Belichek is gonna coach.

[@gabrielsaad2785]

Mike hit the nail on the head. Mike knows football.

[@ajwilson2518]

No he does not.

[@brucereid7165]

How? 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@CardsAT]

Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, and Niners are the primary organizations that have a culture based in winning. Each have become consistent playoff contenders. Every other team might have a good year or two out of a decade. Texans and Lions are on deck, but have to do it more than once.

[@chard2534]

ML is speaking for a friend. If Bill IS the greatest coach, then he'd still be in New England. He's not that guy anymore and I'm sick of former Patriots thinking other teams are dumb for not accepting their scraps and say "thank you". Get bent

[@Blaqmench]

@Chard2534 Excellent Perspective....Honest Truth! Michael Lombardi is friends with Belichick. Belichick hired Lombardi son! #Lombardi is Bias🤨

[@bahramkishi3018]

Hiring Belichik meant more work for Blank

[@leejoseph9486]

Why didn’t they go for Pete Carrol??? Pete would easily get them to the play offs at least!!!

[@motsy15]

Been a falcons fan for decades. I predicted this hire. He has history with the team, albeit not a very good one. He checks ALL the political and business boxes. I’m sure the players like him and IF they win everyone will be singing Kum bai ya. History says that is unlikely. Blank will always run the team like a business and through McKay. It’s pretty obvious at this point that he desires a ‘competitive’ franchise that makes a lot of $$ and doesn’t tarnish his legacy. But anyone that thinks his goal is a championship is not paying attention

[@future_teknokrat7585]

Thanks for explaining the motive of all 32 NFL owners. Money is guaranteed, championships are not.

[@iamcedricpowell8051]

Good stuff

[@bigredd1574]

Blankhead blew it bigly! It was belichick/cousins and now morris?

[@Keith_No_Sweat]

😂😂😂😂😂 nervous?????

[@keithcato9388]

He’s clearly close to Bellichick. The last time the Patriots was in a Super Bowl, Atlanta was there also. He’s saying no disrespect to Raheem but he’s disrespecting him the whole interview. Raheem has won a Super Bowl more recently than Bill. Also, nobody wants to be in a miserable locker room and front office. A lot of Patriot fans dislike Bill.

[@liamcarlen8929]

1. Patriots have been to the Super Bowl and the playoffs more recently than the Falcons and 2. His point is Raheem Morris might be a good coach but there’s a pretty damn good chance he’s not going to be better than Bill freakin Belichick.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Unless Raheem comes up with a franchise QB in the next 2 years. He will looking for a DC job.

[@Tsepete]

What? Atlanta was not in the Superbowl in 2019.

[@miket104]

Belichick won a super-bowl 5 yrs ago. Only 4 teams in last 5 yrs have won Patriots, Rams, Chiefs 2 times. Guy won 5 yrs ago 13-3…. The rest in that Division Miami 50 yrs ago, Jets 54 yrs ago, Bills never in 64 yrs. Give me a break all of a sudden he can’t coach. Almost all there loses where winnable games . The QB is trash it was not the coaching. Pretty sure the other 28 teams would love to say they won a super-bowl 5 yrs ago. Guy has coached in 12 of them and has 8 Rings… Please

[@shahmir5782]

​@@chaunceywilliams8405Now that Kirk Cousins (and Penix who they believe will be a franchise QB after him - time will tell about that) is here, what do you think?

[@rodericksellers1174]

Bill is the goat but he ran new England into the grown with his GM skills

[@jordanbyates]

Christ, Lombo. Get that man’s sack out of your mouth. Bill has been one of the worst coaches/GMs in the league since Tom left. Horrible. Raheem may not be the greatest but the falcons are in a far better position without Bill.

[@ShenardRossPhotography]

Arthur Smith sucks & if this guy can't see that, he's just anti-Atlanta Falcons

[@redstaper2414]

really bad toupee

[@jasonanglin1193]

Falcons will regret not Hiring Bill.

[@ajwilson2518]

Yes we will regret hiring a 71 year old coach who hasn’t been successful since Brady was there. Also bellichick would’ve been here no longer than 2 years because he is again 71 YEARS OLD. There’s a reason why no other team wants him.

[@FreeSociety1]

Falcons will regret not Hiring Tom Brady Belichick (just 83 - 104) WITHOUT Tom Brady.

[@johnofmalta]

Excuse making for ya boy Bill. The goat coach and only one team had talks. 83-101 without Tom Brady. Still a huge Lombo fan.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

So with your observation, Baker Mayfield is a better QB for the Bucs this year then Tom?

[@johnofmalta]

Tom is retired. Does that mean Belichick is gonna retire short of Shula’s wins record? Poetic justice.
