NFL Exec: 'Would Take a Pretty Desperate Owner' to Hire Belichick After Patriots Run

Bill Belichick is arguably the greatest coach in NFL history, but there may not be a rush to hire him after his split with the New England Patriots.

"I don't think teams will be clamoring for Belichick," an NFC executive said, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Might be wrong but I'm skeptical. He's older and things got stale in New England. It would take a pretty desperate owner, in my opinion."

The comment came after ESPN's Adam Schefter and Mike Reiss reported the Patriots and 71-year-old head coach decided to part ways Thursday.
