Falcons reportedly interested in hiring Bill Belichick ‘for weeks’
Bill Belichick is out in New England. So where will he land next?
Keep an eye on Atlanta.
According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Falcons have been interested in landing Bill Belichick “for weeks.” Atlanta recently fired head coach Arthur Smith after a third consecutive 7-10 season. Belichick and the Patriots are parting ways after a 4-13 campaign, the worst season of his legendary 24-year tenure and the worst under Robert Kraft’s ownership.
Other teams with head-coaching vacancies include the Panthers, Titans, Raiders, Chargers, Seahawks and Commanders. Belichick’s level of interest in the Falcons’ job and/or others is currently unknown. He is expected to continue coach, just 15 wins away from breaking Don Shula’s all-time record for most wins as an NFL head coach.
Belichick and Kraft will hold a press conference at Gillette Stadium at noon.
