Bill Belichick, the highly accomplished former coach of the New England Patriots, is inching closer to joining the Atlanta Falcons as their new head coach. Following a second coaching interview with the Falcons on Friday, rumors abound that Belichick is the team's top choice for the position. In fact, there are reports that he flew to Atlanta on owner Arthur Blank's private jet, further fueling speculation.
For the Falcons, who have not had a winning season since 2017 and have never won a Super Bowl championship, securing Belichick's services would be a stunning turn of events. It was only a few years ago that the Falcons suffered their biggest disappointment at the hands of Belichick, when he led the Patriots to a historic comeback victory in Super Bowl LI. Down 28-3 in the second half, the Patriots rallied to win 34-28 in overtime, leaving the Falcons reeling.
