HR3 - Arthur Blank must give new regime time to turn Falcons into consistent winners In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and give their take on who they want to see be the next Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons, who they want to see be the next General Manager of the Atlanta Falcons, how they feel about the reports that Matt Ryan potentially wants to be apart of the Falcons front office and still be a broadcaster with CBS, and how they feel about the reports that Atlanta Hawks four-time All-Star Trae Young and his agents, Aaron Mintz, Drew Morrison and Austin Brown, are working with the franchise on a trade in the Wake Up Call! Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali spend some time with national NFL writer for The Athletic Mike Jones! Beau, Mike, Ali, and Mike discuss if Mike was shocked by any of the firings that have happened so far in the NFL, if Mike thinks Raheem Morris' refusal to make an in-season change at special teams coordinator and some of the on-field coaching issues were a big reason that Raheem got fired, which NFL head coaching job Mike thinks is the most appealing right now, which NFL head coaching candidate Mike thinks will be the hot name in this cycle and be able to have his pick at which job he wants to go to, what Mike knows about Chicago Bears assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, who the Atlanta Falcons just reportedly requested to interview, if Mike thinks there are going to be anymore firings in the NFL, and how Mike feels about former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan potentially getting a significant front office role with the Atlanta Falcons. The Morning Shift crew also continues to react to the reports that the Atlanta Falcons have requested interviews with Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver for their head coaching vacancy, and talk about how Falcons Owner Arthur Blank and the Falcons front office can't put playoff or bust expectations on new regime in year one because it's not good to be always firing coaches, and no one will want the Falcons head coach or general manager job if there are playoff or bust expectations in year one.
