Bill Belichick considering Atlanta Falcons head coach position: ESPN
FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS - JANUARY 11: Head coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots speaks to the media during a press conference at Gillette Stadium on January 11, 2024 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Belichick announced he is stepping down
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - The Atlanta Falcons and Bill Belichick have expressed mutual interest in him becoming the team's next head coach, according to ESPN insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano.
It comes as the Falcons continue their search for their 19th head coach in franchise history after dismissing Arthur Smith last week, and just days after Belichick and the New England Patriots parted ways after 24 years.
Belichick is known as one of the best coaches in football. He is reportedly looking for a talented, yet underachieving team. The Falcons may just fit the bill.
The Chargers are another top contender that could poach his talents, along with a couple other suitors with coaching vacancies.
The Falcons have reportedly been interviewing multiple candidates to fill the head coach and assistant coach positions as well.
