Lewis is the latest former Michigan staff to be facing legal problems. Moore is facing charges of felony home invasion and stalking charges over his Dec. 10 meltdown. Matt Weiss, fired in 2023 as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, was charged with a 24-count indictment in March 2025 over allegations he hacked into students’ computer accounts seeking intimate photos and videos over an eight-year span.
I thought the only thing that got someone fired from the Falcons was animal abuse and dog-fighting?
Merely evidence that Lewis is more than qualified to be part of the NFL.
What do you expect from the NFL (Nasty Fag League)?
To quote Chris Rock......Grand Opening....Grand Closing!
And if he is cleared and this turns out to have been untrue?
Not a fan of this. He should have been placed on paid leave until the matter is cleared up, and fired if shown to to be guilty.
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
perfect fit for the Falcons
“And if he is cleared and this turns out to have been untrue?

I am thinking he did not reveal the allegations before he was hired. Knowing what was going on at Michigan, the Falcons were sure to be cautious.
Maybe so. But if the Falcons have seen enough inside baseball stuff on this situation, would they want to hang on and get involved defending the perp while the circus forms? All year? Yowza. Do the dump and move on.
I was lucky to grow up when coaches were serious role models.
Not my post.
