Bill Parcells kicks the Falcons where it hurts…
Has an NFL team ever had a worse season than the Falcons?
- Franchise QB found guilty on dog fighting charges
- Capable backup QB traded in the offseason
- Franchise forced to start Joey Harrington, one of the worst QBs in the league
- Acquires Byron Leftwich off waivers, only to have him get injured and also play poorly when healthy
- 1st year head coach leaves the team in the middle of a 3-10 start to return to college
- Bill Cowher publicly declines interest in coaching there
- Bill Parcells appears THIS close to signing as the new GM/President of Football when…
…he instead signs a 4-year deal with the 1-13 Miami Dolphins!
Man oh man…the Falcons are two weeks away from the offseason and have:
- A neutered GM
- No head coach
- No franchise QB
- No chance at the 1st overall pick
So if you were Arthur Blank, how would you go about changing things? I would love to hear people’s thoughts.

1) Go hard and heavy after Mike Singletary. He is the best available head coaching option for a number of reasons, the most important of which is his inexperience, which will allow him the time to build a successful team from the ground up.
2) Make a decision about McKay. Either fire him and move on or get behind him completely.
3) Encourage your draft team to go BPA in the draft while securing a FA quarterback to compete with Harrington and Leftwich in the 2008 training camp.
4) Cut/trade DeAngelo Hall.
5) Get the hell out of the way.
