ATLANTA - The Atlanta Falcons have made their choice, and it’s not six-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick.
The former New England Patriots head coach was one of the 14 candidates for Atlanta’s top coaching post, but ultimately, the gig went to Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.
Both Belichick and Morris were called back for second interviews. Earlier Thursday, the team conducted a second interview with Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. In the end, the Falcons decided to go with an experienced coach who has been in the league all but one season going back to 2002, including a stint in Atlanta from 2015-2020.
