Bears will be looking for a new coach. I'd love to see Dan Reeves in a Bears hat.

I wonder if Deion Sanders will apply for the position. They ought to interview Deion if for no other reason than to satisfy the new quota system.

On the one hand, what a shame. Reeves has been a class act and coached some really good teams. On the other hand, he lost 10 games this year. Poor performance deserves censure.

Should have happened last year with the change in management. Good coach in general, but play calls are 20 yrs too old. NO imagination or strategy. Who is available out there?

[PetroniDE]

This kind of stinks. Their season went down the crap-hole when Vick got hurt. He is not a bad coach, but they have almost no quality NFL talent except for Vick.

Just waiting for Jesse Jackson to show up demanding who the next head coach will be.

Good guy, really hate to see him go like this, although I agree Falcons needed new head coach. Didn't know when I was at the game Sunday watching the Second Coming of Vick, I was also watching Dan's swan song.

Good luck in the future, Dan. (but change your play calling, please!)

I was really upset at the timing of this, but after reading the article I do feel a little better. I was hoping to hear that Feely had been cut. I just can't understand why that hasn't happened. Anyway, now the hunt is on for a new coach and that is always interesting. I hope we get a hungry, young hotshot from the college ranks and not another tired retread.

I have issues with some of Dan Reeves decisions, but he is the only Falcons coach that I haven't ended up hating after a couple years. I'm sorry to see him go, but I do think it is time for a change.

You'd think AM'd let it at least stay in news, considering the implications tied to the NFL's new minority hiring system for coaches.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I know alot of people will disagree with me, but letting Dan go was the right thing to do.


The future of the Falcons franchise is Mike Vick. Dan Reeves is not, and never has been a guy to cultivate a great relationship with a Star QB (See Bruce Coslet, Bill Walsh, Don Shula, Jimmy Johnson, Parcells, and even Herman Edwards.)

Vick needs someone to invest in that relationship, and bring him along to Professional Maturity, and not force the QB to fit the coaches mold.

And it has to be someone that has a shot at hanging around, Reeves, predating Vicks arrival, was always going to be on the brink of leaving. It is better for it to happen now, than a year or two down the road.


For the right team, He is still a good coach.

Great info.....you helped me surprise my husband this morning. He didn't believe I knew what I was talking about because he hadn't heard it first. hee hee.

[Bikers4Bush]

The Browns need to do the same thing to Davis.

[Charles Henrickson]

"Yesterday, I advised Dan that we’ve decided to bring in a new head coach. . . ."

Can't these guys say anything straight? "Yesterday I fired Dan Reeves."
