In the recent coaching carousel, there was anticipation that Bill Belichick would secure the head coaching position with the Atlanta Falcons.
However, to the surprise of many, the job went to Raheem Morris instead. Greg Bedard, from the Boston Sports Journal, shared insights into the situation.
Bedard revealed that initially, the Falcons were keen on hiring Belichick, with team owner Arthur Blank expressing early interest. However, the process took a turn, possibly influenced by Blank’s inclination to consider various perspectives. Despite being the initial favorite, Belichick ultimately lost out on the opportunity to Morris.
According to Bedard, Belichick is not taking the news lightly and is reportedly quite upset about not landing the Falcons job. The coach, considered one of the most accomplished in NFL history, might be harboring disappointment over the turn of events.
Bedard expressed his hope to see Belichick land a coaching role in the NFC South, envisioning the potential matchups against the Falcons. However, with the current coaching vacancies filled and Belichick not expected to secure a job this hiring cycle, it remains to be seen where the future Hall of Famer will end up in the next offseason.
