RUMOR: Matt Ryan To Join Atlanta Falcons Front Office? Insider REPORT Raises SERIOUS Concerns
Matt Ryan eyes a front office return to the Atlanta Falcons as sweeping organizational changes loom. Could Atlanta’s beloved former quarterback call the shots for a new era, or is this a desperate move by a franchise searching for answers? Host Aaron Freeman unpacks breaking news from Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer about ongoing talks for Ryan to join the Falcons in a significant role, questioning the wisdom behind bringing star ex-players into key executive positions.
With Arthur Blank hiring the consulting firm Sportsology and major insiders predicting shake-ups for both head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot, Atlanta’s direction hangs in the balance. The show explores Blank’s potential “big fish” targets—think Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh—highlighting why this coaching cycle could spark strategy shifts or yet another run-it-back season. Is Ryan’s return the catalyst for meaningful change or a sign of more uncertainty ahead?

Captain save a …. Just like old Times Matty
I feel you my good sir but Matty Ice is a wonderful football mind and he belongs with this organization in one form or another so yes I’m on board. Hopefully they will be smart and see that he belongs with his natural position and make him the quarterbacks coach. Perfect marriage🫡 Happy New Year 🎊🎈🎆 🎉
Unless the Head Coach changes out then the Matt Ryan hire is a non story
Why does nobody throw Jon Gruden's name in the HC mix? Has he been banned by the NFL from coaching?
I already knew Aaron was gonna hate before I watched the video, his entire gimmick is disagreeing with whatever majority of the fanbase wants
BROAD MATT RYAN HASN'T DONE ANYTHING SINCE HE BEEN WITH THE FALCONS BUT PUT UP STATS BECAUSE HE HAD ELITE WIDE RECEIVERS. MOVING HIM TO UPPER MANAGEMENT DON'T MEAN NOTHING..
OH HELL NAH!!!
WE GOOD 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Agree with you, Aaron. I did not listen to the last part on Raheem not being fired though. I cannot even stand that conversation. He has to be gone.
It’s funny because you think that you’re more qualified to run the falcons than matt and terry you’ve been saying it for years
He’s taken Rich McKay job 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Another layer to the stinking onion that is Blank's and the Falcons Front Office Collaboration model.
I hope Ryan is smart enough to recognize that this is a BS move to gain fan support for Blank's own idiocracy and stays the heck away from this dysfunctional franchise
It took Arthur Blank 20+ years to realize that him or the people around him don't have what it takes to build a franchise with a winning culture. The Rams are 11-4 and just fired their special teams coordinator. For some reason, Arthur Blanks thinks in-season personnel changes are a sin. No wonder why the Rams have a winning culture and the Falcons don't.
At this point, I only want Raheem gone. That's the most important first step.
Give it up dude… the act has run it's course.
Matt is a successful guy in everything he's ever done, to say Lynch hasn't been successful is ludicrous man. You act like they'll have GM's and Coaches beating down the doors of flowery branch lol.
@BigLowKuntry @onthemarc81 Check this out and Matty Ice back in the Falcons organization.
If they are cleaning house fine hire your guy Matt great. If you are joining these guys as front office guy. No way.
Matt is as likely to succeed as anyone else Blank might hire. Blank obviously sux at decision making–not just hiring GMs. Example: caving in to Julio's annual demands for a raise.
John Lynch seems to be doing a good job and I don't think many Denver fans have to many complaints about John Elway. Hire Matt Ryan because he knows about FOOTBALL.
well you said it all, this not a well run organization and aside from the conversation piece on Matt Ryan, the fact that raheem morris was hired to begin with should’ve been the hugest red flag that this organization being mishandled
Matt knows 10x the game than Rich and Terry who have never run an offence under center for 10+ years plus an MVP
Sportsology who says they are good at their job?
He's a top ten all time QB with QB stats. He was always more cerebral than he was physically gifted. Ppl said he should have been an OC since before he even retired. You're tripping tbh.
I think you’re wrong. I think the hype around Matt is more of his mind, not his play. If they said the same opportunity was being presented to Julio, I’d have different thoughts about it. But I think Matt could play a role like John Lynch, because they know the game well.
Someone needs to go. Adding more cooks to the kitchen is a bad idea.
See I'm beyond not happy with Aaron on this Fans are happy about this many Falcons channels are happy about this yet here you are telling us why we should not want this never mined the fact that we have seen this work in the NFL John Lynch John Elway Ozzy Newsome all started their time in an NFL Front office with no training and had to learn on the job and the Falcons trusted Matt Ryan to save us in 2008 and he did now they are asking him to help us again and he could very well do just that this is not your first take bashing Matt Ryan and I'm sure i will not be your last but as a Falcons fan what gives you the right to act any better than the rest of us because a lot of fans want this a lot of fans watched Matt Ryan 45 times lead game winning drives making quick calls without thinking or already being smart enough to know what needed to be done This needs to stop you don't have to be a hater you are willingly picking the role of one Matt Ryan saved us as a Player and could as a front office guy how dare you talk down on us like we should be scared to trust a guy who gave his all for 14 seasons here and will make sure he does what is best for us after his playing days I'm not sure if you are still a fan but this hate take needs to stop we have enough Steven A Smiths in this world how is it humanly Possible that Urinating Tree a way bigger YouTube channel than locked on Falcons understands Rich is the problem and even he wants this for us the man dumps on every team and he can read a room better than you can be better and let us be happy this is as respectful as can be I didn't cuss but I'm not going to sit here and watch you bash My Personal Hero when I ever play Special Olympics Flag Football you better believe I'm wearing number 2 and if I win a gold Medal I will make sure I send it to my Hero I will defend Matt Ryan anytime hate comes his way BE BETTER
