As the Atlanta Falcons limp toward the end of another disappointing season, even winning a few games in the final month, fresh rumors are swirling about the organization’s front office and potential coaching changes.
According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, upper-level personnel within the Falcons remain “fond” of legendary coach Bill Belichick, fueling speculation that head coach Raheem Morris’ job could be on shaky ground.
Insider: Falcons Still Have Feelings for Belichick
Anderson reported on December 18 that there has been recent interest from at least two NFL teams in speaking with Belichick on an “exploratory basis.”
She specifically noted that Belichick still has admirers in high places in Atlanta, as well as in New York (Giants) and Cleveland (Browns)—all teams dealing with struggles this season.
This isn’t the first time Belichick’s name has been linked to the Falcons. Back in early 2024, after parting ways with the New England Patriots, Belichick interviewed twice for the Atlanta job and was widely considered the frontrunner.
Owner Arthur Blank appeared eager to bring in the six-time Super Bowl champion, but the team ultimately pivoted to Raheem Morris, the former Rams defensive coordinator with prior ties to the organization.
Now, nearly two years later, the Falcons sit at a disappointing record with another playoff miss locked in—extending the drought to eight straight seasons. Morris, in his second year, has overseen a team plagued by inconsistencies, quarterback transitions, and defensive lapses. While the Falcons showed fight in recent games, including a gritty win over a division rival, the overall results have fallen short of expectations.
The Belichick rumor adds fuel to an already hot seat for Morris. Reports suggest that some in the organization—possibly including Blank himself—still hold the future Hall of Famer in high regard.
Belichick, currently coaching at North Carolina after a challenging first college season, has a low buyout in his contract that could make an NFL return feasible.
Falcons fans are no strangers to coaching carousel drama, and this latest whisper has reignited debates about whether revisiting Belichick would be a stroke of genius or a sign of organizational dysfunction.
Blank has yet to comment publicly on Morris’ status, but with three games left in the season, the evaluations are undoubtedly underway.
For now, Morris and the team are focused on finishing strong against tough remaining opponents.
But as Black Monday approaches, all eyes will be on Flowery Branch to see if the Falcons’ fondness for Belichick turns into something more.Stay tuned to Atlanta Sports Chronicle for the latest updates on the Falcons’ offseason outlook.

This year, the community is rallying around a heartfelt initiative that reminds us of the power of giving: joy as a form of healing.

On Saturday, December 20, 2025, the YMCA of Metro Atlanta, in partnership with DJ Scream and his nonprofit The Scream Foundation (TSF), along with 96.1 The Beat, will host the 2nd Annual Tons of Toys Toy & Coat Giveaway.

The giveaway will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Andrew & Walter Young Family YMCA, located at 2220 Campbellton Rd SW, Atlanta, GA 30311.
Past efforts by the foundation have included back-to-school supplies, food distributions, and community festivals that have supported thousands of local families.

Partnering with 96.1 The Beat, the city’s home for hip-hop and R&B, ensures the event reaches families who need it most.
Families in need are encouraged to attend and register on-site if needed. While supplies last, children will receive new toys, and warm coats will be available to help combat the winter chill.

A nostalgic pre-9/11 airport tradition — saying goodbye to loved ones right at the gate or greeting arrivals as they step off the plane — is making a comeback at select U.S. airports through new visitor pass programs.
However, travelers and families in Atlanta will have to wait, as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), the world’s busiest airport, is not currently participating in these initiatives.
U.S. Airports Increasingly Allowing Gate ‘Guest Passes’
Several airports nationwide have introduced “guest passes” allowing non-ticketed visitors to apply in advance, undergo TSA vetting, and pass through security to access gates, shops, and restaurants airside.
Oakland International Airport (OAK) in California is the latest to launch such a program this week, joining others like Cleveland Hopkins (Hangout Pass), San Antonio (SAT Pass), Kansas City (Guest Pass), Philadelphia (Wingmate Pass), and Detroit Metropolitan (Destination Pass).
These programs require visitors to submit applications online up to seven days ahead, receive TSA approval, and present a digital or printed pass along with a valid photo ID (such as a Real ID or passport) at the checkpoint.
Participants go through the same standard TSA screening as ticketed passengers.
The shift revives a practice common before the September 11, 2001, attacks, when anyone could accompany family or friends to the gate or even hang out at the airport to watch planes.
Post-9/11, the newly created TSA restricted secure areas to boarding pass holders only for enhanced security.
Many Atlantans may feel a twinge of nostalgia reading about these changes elsewhere. Reddit users in travel forums often reminisce about the old days: “Family could accompany you to the gate,” one wrote, while another recalled “greeting someone at the gate was nice” or simply watching takeoffs and landings as a fun outing.
At ATL, access beyond security remains limited to ticketed passengers.
The airport does allow airlines to issue limited escort passes at their discretion for cases like accompanying unaccompanied minors or passengers needing assistance due to disability. But no general visitor pass program is available, per the latest information on the official ATL website.
As holiday travel ramps up through Atlanta’s massive hub — with millions passing through during peak seasons — local families will continue saying goodbyes curbside or in the pre-security atriums.
Airport officials have not announced any plans to join the trend, though similar programs at other major airports could inspire future changes.
For now, if you’re flying out of ATL, pack those hugs in before the security line. Safe travels, Atlanta.

Atlanta’s own Elle Duncan, a beloved figure in local sports media before her rise to national stardom, is making a major career move.
The former ESPN SportsCenter anchor has been hired by Netflix under a multiyear deal to become the streaming giant’s first on-air sports host.
Elle Duncan Leaves ESPN, Joins Netflix
Duncan, known for her sharp analysis, warm personality, and standout coverage of women’s basketball, will host across Netflix’s growing lineup of live sports and cultural events.
Her debut is set for early 2026 with Skyscraper Live, a daring event featuring free solo climber Alex Honnold attempting to scale Taipei 101, the world’s tallest building in Taiwan at 1,667 feet.
“Joining Netflix feels like being invited to an already legendary party and somehow getting handed the aux cord!” Duncan said in a statement. “For a lifelong utility player, a multisport assignment is a full-circle moment… I’m bringing boundless energy, storytelling, and bad puns no one asked for but will be subjected to anyway.”
Netflix VP of Sports Gabe Spitzer praised the hire: “Elle Duncan’s proven ability to seamlessly move between hard-hitting sports analysis and warm, personality-driven cultural hosting makes her a perfect fit at Netflix.
She immediately adds credibility and familiar star power to our global programming slate.”
The move comes as Netflix expands aggressively into live sports, with existing deals for NFL games, MLB, the Women’s World Cup, WWE, and more.
Duncan’s Deep Roots in Atlanta Media
Longtime Atlantans will remember Duncan as a homegrown talent who got her start right here in the city.
Born and raised in Atlanta, she launched her broadcasting career in 2003 as a teenage intern and entertainment reporter for sports radio station 790 The Zone, working alongside the popular 2 Live Stews show.
By 2005, she joined V-103 (WVEE-FM), Atlanta’s iconic hip-hop and R&B station, where she spent seven years as a top-rated on-air personality.
Hired by radio legend Ryan Cameron, Duncan contributed to the Ryan Cameron Show, hosted midday and afternoon programs, and even served as a traffic reporter.
During this time, she branched into sports sideline reporting for the Atlanta Hawks (six years), the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network pre- and post-game shows, and SEC/ACC football for Comcast Sports South.
In 2012, she transitioned to television as a sports anchor and reporter for Atlanta’s NBC affiliate, WXIA-TV (11Alive), further solidifying her presence in local news and sports coverage.
After stints in Boston with NESN and then joining ESPN in 2016, Duncan became a fixture on SportsCenter (hosting the 6 p.m. edition), women’s college basketball College GameDay, and WNBA Countdown. Her nine-year run at ESPN ends with this high-profile jump to Netflix.
Duncan has often credited Atlanta for shaping her career, from the competitive local radio scene to covering the Hawks and Falcons up close.
She’s also given back to the community, launching the Cause & Effect series at V-103 to highlight underexposed nonprofits and serving as a spokeswoman for organizations like Enchanted Closet.
For Atlanta fans who watched her come up through V-103 mornings, Hawks sidelines, and 11Alive reports, seeing one of our own pioneer sports hosting on a global platform like Netflix is a proud moment. Congratulations, Elle—we’ll be tuning in!

As families across the city gather to celebrate Christmas Eve, a dedicated group of volunteers will be out spreading cheer in a unique way: Delivering hot meals to every police precinct and fire station in Atlanta.
The sixth annual Holiday Ham Haul, a heartwarming tradition that began during the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to honor the city’s first responders for their tireless service and the personal sacrifices they make – including spending holidays away from their own loved ones.
Holiday Ham Haul Comes To Buckhead
“This event is our way of saying thank you to the men and women who keep our community safe year-round, especially when they’re working through the holidays,” said a spokesperson for the organizing groups.
For many participants, the Holiday Ham Haul has become a cherished family tradition.
One mother-son duo has volunteered every year, and the experience left such a lasting impression on the son that he centered his college application essay around the vital role first responders play in the community and the importance of giving back.
The event is organized by the Buckhead Rotary Club, Livable Buckhead, and the Atlanta Fire Rescue Foundation.
It receives generous support from local sponsors, including the Buckhead Community Improvement District (CID), Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods, Buckhead Coalition, Georgia Primary Bank, Southern Baked Pie, and HoneyBaked Ham.
Volunteers will fan out across the city on December 24 to ensure no shift goes without a warm holiday meal, continuing a tradition that reminds Atlantans of the everyday heroes in their midst.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has spent the last decade evading sacks and throwing touchdowns, so it shouldn’t be a shock when he talks technique on the gridiron, but that’s exactly what he did recently after a Falcons practice session in Flowery Branch.
Cousins, speaking to the media as he awaits the Falcons next game, answered a simple question but in essence he gave a State of the Quarterback address when talking about how signal callers read defenses today.
Falcons’ QB Kirk Cousins On How To Beat a Defense
In his spiel, he spilled the beans on exactly why defenses have been winning the chess match lately. When a reporter asked him about the ongoing debate on “progression reads” (sequentially checking receivers 1 through 5) and “coverage reads” (diagnosing defensive alignments pre-snap to eliminate portions of the field), the 37-year-old veteran eagerly jumped in:
“I’d love to get into it… I can get on this soapbox if you want me to, because I lived the transition,” he said.
Cousins, who entered the league in 2012, described the old-school approach that dominated when he was coming up: Quarterbacks would quickly identify whether the safety alignment was single-high or split-safety pre-snap, then “cut the field in half” and focus on just 2-3 eligible receivers.
Alerts for pressure or specific coverages kept things simple. “But what happened,” Cousins explained, “is defenses have gotten so good at disguising it.”
Coordinators now routinely show one look before the snap—often a safe two-high shell—only to rotate into single-high coverage, man, or blitz after the ball is snapped. This post-snap deception leaves quarterbacks unable to trust their pre-snap diagnosis, forcing hesitation during the critical early stages of the dropback.
Image: Cover 2 defense
The result? Offenses have largely abandoned complex pre-snap processing in favor of “pure progressions”—rigid sequencing where the QB must methodically work through receivers regardless of the coverage.
Cousins recalled his time under current Rams head coach Kevin O’Connell in Minnesota, when reintroducing more pure progressions felt overwhelming at first: “I remember when KOC was bringing a lot of pure progression reads back… it was like whoa, that’s a lot.”
While pure progressions reduce weekly preparation stress—no more game plans hinging on perfect safety reads—they come at a cost. “If you truly try to go 1-2-3-4-5, you’re gonna get sacked,” Cousins warned, noting that elite pass rushes force quicker decisions or checkdowns.
This shift, Cousins implied, is a major reason why gaudy individual passing stats have become rarer in recent years. The era of routine 5,000-yard, 40-touchdown seasons has cooled, as quarterbacks hold the ball longer on average, inviting more pressure and disruption.
League-wide trends in 2025 reflect this: While top passers like Dak Prescott lead in yards, explosive aerial attacks are less consistent, with defenses dictating tempo through disguise and rotation.
Cousins’ breakdown resonates across the league, echoing comments from coordinators like the Vikings’ Wes Phillips, who has noted the explosion of coverage variations—inversions, reduced fronts, and post-snap rotations—that make pre-snap certainty nearly impossible.
For a quarterback like Cousins, who has adapted through multiple systems and is currently thriving in relief of the injured Michael Penix Jr.—including a recent 373-yard, three-touchdown performance—it’s a testament to survival in an ever-evolving chess match.
Final Word
As defenses continue to innovate, the pure progression era may be here to stay, keeping pass rushes smiling and stat sheets a bit more grounded.

Game Analysis: Hawks vs. Spurs
The big question mark heading into this game: Will All-Star guard Trae Young make his long-awaited return? Young has been sidelined since late October with a right MCL sprain but was recalled from his G League rehab assignment this week after participating in full practices.
Sources indicate he’s progressing well and could suit up against the Spurs, potentially giving the Hawks a massive boost with his playmaking and scoring.
On the other side, the Spurs have been one of the season’s surprise stories, boasting a strong record bolstered by the addition of veteran guard De’Aaron Fox and the continued dominance of Victor Wembanyama. The 7’4″ phenom recently returned from a calf strain that sidelined him for about a month, making his comeback in the NBA Cup semifinals where he contributed off the bench.
Fully healthy now, Wembanyama’s rim protection, rebounding, and scoring make him a nightmare matchup – especially for Atlanta’s frontcourt.
Earlier this season, on November 20 in San Antonio, the Spurs topped the Hawks 135-126 in a high-scoring affair, with Fox and Keldon Johnson leading the charge while Wembanyama was out. Atlanta struggled defensively that night but showed flashes of their potential.Keys to the Game for the Hawks:
- Contain Wemby: Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu will need to battle in the paint to limit Wembanyama’s impact. Atlanta’s rim protection has improved, but this will be a true test.
- Tempo Control: The Spurs thrive in transition thanks to Fox’s speed. Forcing half-court sets could play into the Hawks’ hands.
- Young’s Potential Return: If Ice Trae plays, his pick-and-roll mastery could exploit San Antonio’s perimeter defense.
Recent head-to-head battles have been close and entertaining, often going down to the wire with plenty of points. Expect another offensive showcase at State Farm Arena.
Prediction: If Trae Young returns, Hawks pull out a narrow win, 118-114. Without him, the Spurs’ size and depth might prevail.
Hawks fans, get loud – this one’s going to be fun! Tickets are available at Hawks.com. Follow us for live updates and postgame reaction.
