When the Atlanta Falcons hired Raheem Morris almost two years ago, they missed out on a surplus of elite candidates who are thriving elsewhere. However, their coaching search came down to Morris and Bill Belichick, which saw Arthur Blank and Terry Fontenot decide to hire the 49-year-old coach.
The Super Bowl-winning head coach is amid a disastrous first season at North Carolina which has the Tar Heels at the center of some serious turmoil. Regardless, NFL teams still respect his coaching pedigree, and it was reported teams are still expected to have interest in Belichick this offseason.
