Even while the Falcons have asked to speak with numerous potential head coaches, Bill Belichick, with whom they have the strongest connection, hasn’t received an official invitation to interview. The “Patriot Way” creator and six-time Super Bowl champion is undoubtedly the Falcons’ primary target.
First, Josina Anderson stated that several NFC South teams would be interested in Bill Belichick should he become available, even before Arthur Smith was even relieved of his duties.
Multiple insiders, including our own Chase Irle, confirmed Russini’s allegation that the Falcons were really interested in Bill Belichick. An NFL executive even declared that they ought to be the front-runners to sign him.
Another executive stated, “My sleeper is Belichick to Dallas, but I’d make Atlanta the clear favourite for Bill and the Chargers the clear favourite for Harbaugh.”
Later in the week, we also discovered that Belichick finds the fit to be logical and that it’s not simply a one-sided desire.
Additionally, I’ve been informed by Belichick’s close associates that they think he would fit in well. Indeed, this is a talented group that has to resolve the quarterback position issue. In this peaceful market, he might be completely focused on the game of football. Additionally, he would have a club owner who stays out of day-to-day operations, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
Well, this gives us even more details. It was reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Saturday morning that Belichick and the Falcons are thought to have “mutual interest” in dating:
I was instructed to concentrate on teams with talent but low performance because it is really his specialty. Atlanta is a team that comes to mind; they are most likely a quarterback away. All around the league, there is a perception that there may be some shared interest. In that sense, the Chargers spring to mind. Additionally, there isn’t a perfect fit at this time. Many teams in the league are searching for a fresh perspective or are looking to replace their current coach with someone younger. Washington is most likely out. Tennessee is most likely out. Seattle is most likely out. There aren’t many choices at the moment; however, based on how the playoffs play out, there might be some surprises. If a somewhat more prominent position becomes available, Belichick might take a look at it. But one thing is certain—he wants to carry on coaching.
It’s most likely a duck if it swims and looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Bill Belichick was connected to the Falcons even before to his departure from the Patriots. As the offseason goes on, there will undoubtedly be more rumours, but it appears that Arthur Blank’s main objective is the GOAT.
