While Bill Belichick was not hired to be head coach of another team following his departure from the Patriots, it initially appeared that the six-time Super Bowl winner was bound for Atlanta.
Belichick, 71, went through two rounds of interviews with Falcons owner Arthur Blank in January. He was even seen as the likely pick by NFL insider Josina Anderson, who said that she was “expecting” the Falcons to name Belichick “barring a snag in negotiations.”
Yet Atlanta ultimately opted to go in another direction, hiring Raheem Morris (formerly the Rams’ defensive coordinator).
