The reasons former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick did not secure an NFL coaching job for the 2024 season ran "deeper than the mere fact he's about to turn 72," according to a report from The Athletic's Jeff Howe.
Although Belichick underwent several interviews with Atlanta Falcons, the franchise was concerned over how the former Patriots coach would fit into the team's, Howe reported.
The fact that Belichick "become accustomed to total control over football operations" in New England, as well as his "frosty relationship" with Atlanta president Rich McKay, were concerns for the Falcons, Howe said.
