Sad News From Atlanta Falcons Today….
This morning, the Patriots and arguably the greatest head coach of all time, Bill Belichick, agreed to part ways after 24 seasons and six Super Bowls.
Unlike his close friend Nick Saban, who announced his retirement yesterday, it doesn’t look like Belichick is ready to hang up the headset just yet, and according to a number of reports, the Falcons are eyeing him to be their next head coach.
That sparked questions surrounding the Falcons’ interest, but it was minimal, given Arthur Smith was still the head coach in Atlanta and Belichick hadn’t been relieved of his duties in New England, even if it was expected.
However, once the Falcons season ended in embarrassing fashion to the Saints and Arthur Smith was officially axed, the rumors really started to poor in connecting Bell Belichick to the Atlanta job, beginning with The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.
Since then, Russini’s report has been confirmed by a multitude of outlets. At the very least, the Falcons are heavily considering the possibility of Bill Belichick as their next head coach. One NFL executive even went as far as to say they should be considered the favorites to land him.
At this point, Belichick to the Falcons is more than just a rumor. Arthur Blank and Rich McKay seem heavily interested in bringing the best coach of all time into the building and seeing if he can revive his career, and this franchise, with a clean slate.
