On this episode of Buck’s Beat, Buck Belue breaks down the Atlanta Falcons hiring Kevin Stefanski as head coach and bringing in Tommy Rees as offensive coordinator — and what it all means for franchise quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Falcons President of Football Matt Ryan has been aggressive this offseason, locking in Stefanski, retaining Jeff Ulbrich on defense, and reshaping the organization’s leadership. But Buck doesn’t sugarcoat the concerns: Stefanski’s recent record, his long list of quarterbacks in Cleveland, and the PR challenge Falcons fans are wrestling with after eight straight losing seasons. The focus then turns to the most important piece of the puzzle — Michael Penix Jr. Buck dives into Penix’s early NFL tape, advanced metrics, pocket presence, and overall skill set, explaining why he believes Penix can become a top-10 quarterback in the league. He also breaks down Stefanski’s Kubiak-Shanahan West Coast system, heavy play-action concepts, under-center usage, and why this offense could be a strong schematic fit for Atlanta’s offensive talent. After doing the homework, Buck explains why he’s feeling better about the hire — not because of blind faith, but because the system finally matches the quarterback.

Buck’s Beat, hosted by Buck Belue, provided an update on the Atlanta Falcons’ head coaching search, which is being led by new team president Matt Ryan. Belue outlined why he believes the Falcons’ best path forward is hiring an offensive-minded head coach, pointing to Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as an ideal candidate. He discussed how Kubiak’s offensive approach could help maximize the Falcons’ talent on that side of the ball, while also emphasizing the importance of retaining defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich to maintain continuity and stability on defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Atlanta Falcons are entering a brand-new era — and Buck Belue breaks it all down on this episode of Buck’s Beat. With Matt Ryan officially hired as the Falcons’ President of Football, the organizational structure in Atlanta has changed dramatically. The general manager and head coach will now report directly to Ryan, creating a three-person leadership model alongside owner Arthur Blank and the consulting firm assisting the search. In this episode, Buck explains: Why Matt Ryan is the right choice to lead the football operation How the Falcons’ GM search is likely unfolding behind the scenes Which executive candidates make the most sense for the general manager role Why former Ravens coach John Harbaugh is not a fit for Atlanta And why Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak is the best head coaching fit for the Falcons Buck details why Kubiak’s offensive philosophy, background in the Shanahan coaching tree, and experience with outside-zone and play-action concepts make him an ideal match for Atlanta’s current roster — including Bijan Robinson and Michael Penix Jr. He also explains why Kubiak’s rookie-head-coach status could be a positive, not a negative, for the Falcons at this stage of the rebuild. The episode also explores: The competition for top head coaching candidates around the league Why Atlanta may be a more appealing destination than Baltimore, Las Vegas, Phoenix, or New York The importance of pairing the next head coach with a veteran, cap-savvy general manager And how this new structure gives the Falcons a real chance to reset and build toward long-term success It’s a full breakdown of where the Falcons are now, where they’re headed next, and what this new Matt Ryan-led era could look like moving forward.

Happy New Year and welcome back to a brand new 2026 edition of Buck’s Beat! The Atlanta Falcons have officially fired head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot — and Buck Belue says it’s not only justified, it’s overdue. Eight straight losing seasons have pushed Falcons fans to their breaking point, and now the question becomes: Will Arthur Blank finally reset this organization the right way, or is this just another cycle of disappointment? In this episode, Buck lays out a clear, three-step blueprint for fixing the Falcons — starting at the very top. Step 1: Hire Matt Ryan as President of Football Operations. Buck explains why Matt Ryan is the perfect choice to lead the football side of the organization, despite critics pointing to his lack of front office experience. From knowing the right coaching fits, to understanding the roster, to loving the organization and prioritizing winning — Buck makes the case that Ryan gives the Falcons their first true chance at cultural and competitive change. Step 2: Hire a strong, proven general manager. Buck discusses Chicago Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham as a top candidate, highlighting his background with winning organizations like the Eagles, Ravens, and Bears — and why pairing him with Ryan could balance football leadership with analytics and roster management. Step 3: Hire the right head coach. Buck breaks down why Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak is a strong fit for Atlanta, how his West Coast system with zone runs and play-action fits Bijan Robinson and Michael Penix Jr., and why the Falcons need to act fast before other teams scoop him up. Buck also dives deep into the quarterback debate — defending Michael Penix Jr. as the future of the franchise, pushing back against common criticisms about his accuracy, mobility, and experience, and explaining why the current system has actually limited his performance. Along the way, Buck addresses: The Falcons’ long-standing “dysfunctional” reputation Why proven candidates have avoided Atlanta in the past How a Matt Ryan hire could change league perception instantly The real holes still on the roster and what needs fixing Why this is a true “now or never” moment for the franchise This is Buck’s most direct, passionate, and detailed blueprint yet for how the Falcons can finally stop the cycle of failure and build a winner Atlanta can believe in again.
