If you had the right personnel, a killer defense would be a 5-1-5. Would require an elite none tackle, super athletic defensive ends and linebacker, and two safetys who were tough with run support.

I still like the 8-3-8 but we are a few players short

Just saw on Twitter that nick saban is retiring. Wonder how that affects us getting any of his assistants. Can see Dabo going after that job too.

He's coming to be our DC.

It was going to be Jim Bo Fisher but Saban will work

Jimbo Fisher has done a great job of shutting down QBs for the last decade (post Winston)

Personally I think a 4-3 MD would help out our run defense. Just my opinion.

If go to a 4-3, we better get some more on the portal in the next portal period. Cause we are thin at the backer position right now.

Easily the most decorated. Best coach? That would be determined on the field. What he did with the Patriots would have no bearing on the Falcons. Don't forget, Falcons have gone to 2 Superbowls already.

Rings vs no rings?

My thought exactly.

With this news, I think this thread is about to go full cornbread and off topic.

He would instantly be the best coach the Falcons ever had.

Agreed. I think he’s still one of the best coaches in the league, but he’s easily one of the worst GMs. I don’t know how a coach can overcome the Patriots’ lack of talent (even if it is because of his own doing).

If anyone is wanting a timeline update. This is what CBK said!

So we’re getting Francis as DC

Who?

What are the odds it’s Sherrer?

What are the odds it’s Sherrer?

I would say low given the new assistants hire

 

[GT33]

Who?

Francis. He replaced Benedict so I guess if we were looking for a savior to erase the sins of his predecessors a good Catholic is the way to go.

Our defense could use divine intervention, but I doubt he will leaving his current job. It pays too much.

Low, maybe he gets a co-DC slot.
