Arthur M. Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons, acknowledges recent team shortcomings and announces significant organizational changes, including hiring a new president of football, a new head coach, and a general manager, to build a competitive team and restore success, while emphasizing accountability and community support.
As the NFL season concludes, teams are making key coaching decisions, with Miami, Cleveland, and Minnesota among the most active in potential hires and restructures, while other teams like the Falcons, Titans, and Giants are also evaluating their future leadership amid ongoing changes and market considerations.
The Washington Commanders suffered a devastating loss to the Cowboys, securing the No. 2 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Major changes are expected, with head coach Ron Rivera likely to be fired and a complete overhaul of the front office and coaching staff anticipated. The team's quarterback position is also up for change, as Sam Howell's performance has been disappointing. With new ownership in place, the Commanders are poised for a fresh start in 2024, offering fans hope for a revamped team structure and potential rookie quarterback prospects.
