Magic lobbied hard for Belichick

I'm a life-long Laker fan who loves Magic, but what I was trying to convey months ago.......you don't want Magic anywhere near the decision making process.

ESPN reports Bill Belichick did not demand full control of the Falcons before being turned down for the team’s head coaching vacancy.
ESPN reporters, including Jeremy Fowler, confirmed what Falcons owner Arthur Blank had said in February after the team went with Raheem Morris over Belichick, the second winningest coach in NFL history. Belichick had expressed willingness to work closely with Atlanta’s front office, including general manager Terry Fontenot. He had not — as some had assumed — demanded control of all team operations, though some in the Atlanta front office worried that Belichick would eventually take control of roster building. Some in the organization viewed Belichick as “an older, stoic coach who’d blow up the building.” Blank was leaning toward hiring Belichick, according to ESPN, before talking with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who warned Blank not to trust Belichick. A source close to Kraft told ESPN the Pats owner “found Bill to be extremely difficult and obstinate and kind of stubborn and, in the end, not worthy of his trust. And also very, very, very arrogant.” Other teams, including the Titans, were turned off by what Belichick had done to the New England offense in the years after parting ways with Tom Brady. Belichick, per ESPN, will pursue head coaching vacancies next January, including, possibly, the Cowboys.

I am a big fan of Magic's but don't want him near personnel decisions. It is not a coincidence that we have heard little about him so the coaching and personnel decisions.

Bill will most likely end up in Dallas if McCarthy gets fired after next season. And his seat is pretty warm.

Magic is going to learn the NFL is a completely animal from his other ventures

Magic Johnson is a billionaire. I'm sure he'll adapt to the way the NFL does business both quite nicely and quite easily.

The rest of that nonsense is ESPN trash.

Of course he's stubborn and arrogant and more brilliant than a cheesy owner. That's why he's so damn good.

Quoted above is the reason to think twice about hiring him. Those offenses, yikes.

Josh Harris is going to learn the NFL is a completely different animal from his other ventures.
