Bill Belichick and the Falcons reportedly have mutual interest
Could the legendary coach make his way to Atlanta?
It's been a shocking week for coaching changes both at the college and pro level. Just a few days ago, legendary head coach Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots parted ways. This move felt like it was coming.
However, since that news broke, there's been plenty of speculation about where Belichick might end up next. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, there's 'mutual interest' between the Falcons and Belichick. Is a move to the NFC South on the way?

The Falcons fired Arthur Smith after yet another disappointing season. Atlanta features plenty of young talent, but they just haven't been able to take a step forward. Would Belichick make sense for them? Belichick may be 71 years old, but he's not ready to enjoy retirement just yet. Atlanta will be an organization to keep an eye on for the future Hall-of-Fame coach.
