Bill Belichick is weighing his options in free agency.
Bill Belichick is weighing his options in free agency.
Less than a week after the legendary head coach’s 24-year tenure with the Patriots came to a close, the Falcons announced that they interviewed Belichick for their vacant head coaching position.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Belichick met with Falcons owner Arthur Blank in person to discuss Atlanta’s coaching vacancy after the team fired Arthur Smith last week. Pelissero added that “no deal is imminent” between Belichick and the Falcons, but “there is mutual interest and conversations are ongoing.”
Belichick marks the seventh interview that the Falcons have conducted for their head-coaching gig. Atlanta has already spoken to Atlanta Baltimore assistant head coach/defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, as well as Carolina defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, San Francisco defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, Cincinnati offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, and Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald.
