Bill Belichick is looking for his next home in the NFL. After 24 season in Foxborough, the legendary head coach and the New England Patriots agreed to part ways on Jan. 11, ending his historic tenure with the organization that resulted in all six of the franchise’s Super Bowl titles. Now, all eyes are on the future Hall of Fame coach to see where the next chapter of his career will take him.
One thing we know for sure is that Belichick isn’t looking to retire. After all, he’s only 14 wins shy of tying Don Shula for the all-time wins record for a head coach and all indications from his farewell presser out of Gillette Stadium pointed to his coaching career continuing. Where that will be is the key story.
Currently, there are seven head coach openings in the NFL. We already highlighted three logical landing spots for the coach, including the possibility of the Dallas Cowboys being an option. That was under the assumption they’d lose to the Green Bay Packers during Super Wild Card Weekend, which they ultimately did. If that loss triggers Jerry Jones into moving on from Mike McCarthy, Belichick would be a logical candidate to pursue. As for jobs that are actually open, the Atlanta Falcons have been a popular landing spot for him and the two sides even had a formal interview about the possibility of a pairing, so that situation is very much worth monitoring.
