that is crazy. i just read about this on cnn. too bad for him... i think with vick back they could of had a nice finish to their season. maybe they are making room for deion?

I heard that as soon as Blank told Reeves that he wouldn't be renewed next year, Reeves asked to be released.

dennis green wouldnt be too bad. and yes, that minority interview rule is total BS. if i was a black coach, i would be insulted if i only got interviewed to satisfy the nfl and never got a job. most teams have coaches in mind when they let their coach walk. see: steve mariucci in detroit, jon gruden in tampa, etc. whether or not black coaches are good enough to coach in the nfl is not the question, look at herm edwards and tony dungee.

That doesn't make much sense to get rid of him, this is his 2nd year with Vick, let him build it up. The guy got hurt and the back-up is crap, I don't see how that is Reeve's fault lol

Either way hopefully they get a good replacement, Don't pick any ex-Lions head coaches lol :p

his play calling is atrocious. the falcons have lost 3 games after leading by 17 or more points (washington, new orleans, tennessee) they led minnesota 20-12 at the half. if they win all those games, they are 7-6 and have a shot at the playoffs. reeves doesnt motivate the team well enough, and he makes bad play calls every single week. im glad to have him out. the team is not that bad without vick, definitely not 2-10 bad

Well you watch the games more than me, so I'll take your word for it.

And I would take Dennis Green, he loved throwing those bombs with the Vikings and with Vick they could do the same. Tho I honestly hope you guys don't hire Deion for the job, he is a great player but I don't think he'll be any good as a coach.

-on a side note, the falcons site looks sweet :)

If anyone actually wonders all I have to do is point out that game when Duckett was running all over the place, around 80 yards in the first half. So what does Danny do? Runs Duckett about 2 times in the entire second half. Very smart. :(

Catnip - are you registerd on teh Falcons board too? If so whats your nick?

My nick over there is "dingofish". I agree with you about the quality of the posters - which is why it is so cool to have a sports forum here.

....for some unknown reason, I was thinking of Christopher Reeves...

he could have probably done a better job coaching.... wouldnt go for a field goal down by 7 with 2 minutes to go

k ill keep an eye out for you.. and yeah, there are always 30 threads on the same thing, constant flame wars and little to no moderation, so neowins sports forum is way better.. i dont think ive been to the falcons boards since we got this sports forum

Im stull undecided if Reeves should have been released or not. This team is built around Vick, and the game he came back...they won. They didnt give Reeves a shot in my opinion.

But on the other hand, he is a great coach and should have been able to at least salvage more than 2 wins this season without Vick.

I just dunno. But my choice for a replacement would be:

1) Dennis Green

2) Jimmy Johnson (But he isnt leaving his plushy FOX job...that hair...)

3) Primetime (It doesnt hurt to dream)

Think of it like this, can you name any coach that has had as bad of a record as Reeves with and still kept their job?

His record is like 47-54. :(

True, but Reeves has been a head coach in this league forever so I think that may have given him a little bit of leeway

and his leeway finally ran out. the falcons are a franchise sick of losing, sick of being the laughing stock of the league. weve got the players, the star power, the ownership, the fan support, the media attention, now we just need a decent coaching staff and we'll be good to go. 2 winning seasons out of 7 isnt going to cut it in atlanta anymore.

I liked Dan Reeves as a man, but not as a coach. Good move by the Falcons. I wouldn't mind Nick Saban, Herm Edwards, Dennis Green, or Jimmy Johnson. Also it would be great if the Falcons brought in Rich McKay as GM.

Dd you hear that McKay left Tampa today? Rumors have him coming to Atlanta... :)

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
