A New England Patriots spokesperson denied that team owner Robert Kraft ever sunk Bill Belichick ’s candidacy for the Atlanta Falcons job, but my question after reading, and the question we all should have is why Atlanta owner Arthur Blank would ever listen to another owner in the first place when hiring the greatest coach in modern NFL history is on the table. To me, it doesn’t really matter who is right or how completely true any of this is.
This is especially true if Belichick was willing to accept outside ideas, specifically in terms of personnel and bringing in an offensive coordinator who may not have been attached to his coaching tree. This is not just based on some Patriot mythos that I’m still swilling after all these years.
How do we know that if Kraft talked to Blank about Belichick and if Kraft openly disparaged the head coach , he was not simply protecting himself? As a source close to Belichick noted to ESPN: If Belichick tears it up in Atlanta, all fingers point back to ownership when talking about the decline of the Patriots dynasty.
Don’t take this as an anti-Raheem Morris screed. I’ve written about Morris’s deserved candidacy for years. He will be fine. The Falcons should have given him the job instead of Arthur Smith. I view these as two completely different occurrences. Once the Falcons eliminated Belichick from their consideration, they made a decision to hire the best candidate for the job.
