Falcons were smart to take Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s advice on Belichick
While Bill Belichick’s coaching pedigree is impressive, his style may not align with Arthur Blank’s vision for the Atlanta Falcons. Blank prioritizes coaches who can build positive relationships with players, a quality that Belichick may not exemplify. This divergence in coaching philosophy led Blank to opt for a different direction, especially after receiving opposition from his staff regarding Belichick’s hiring. Instead, Raheem Morris, known for his ability to create a relaxed and supportive environment, emerged as a better fit for the Falcons’ current situation. This decision is not a criticism of Belichick’s coaching abilities but rather an acknowledgment that his approach may not suit the team’s needs at this time.
