Overview

  • Bill Belichick, former head coach of the New England Patriots, is being considered as a top candidate for the head coach position at the Atlanta Falcons, despite no other NFL team interviewing him for their coaching vacancies.
  • The Falcons have interviewed Belichick twice, making him the first candidate to receive a second interview.
  • Belichick's record without Tom Brady, his spotty history with personnel decisions, and his demand to retain authority over personnel decisions could be reasons why other teams have not interviewed him.
  • Despite being a top choice for the Falcons, Belichick would not have the authority over personnel decisions that he desires, as the Falcons already have a sitting general manager and chief executive officer.
  • The Falcons have also interviewed other candidates for the head coach position, including Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
