Atlanta Falcons Pass On Bill Belichick, Set To Hire Raheem Morris As Head Coach

Barring one thing unexpected within the subsequent few days, Bill Belichick will NOT be the top coach of the Atlanta Falcons … the NFL org. is reportedly set to rent Raheem Morris as a substitute.

The previous New England Patriots head man had been thought-about the favourite for the open gig all through the early elements of January … this after interviewing for the job twice in a matter of days earlier this month.

Nonetheless, one thing modified within the final week … and now, in response to NFL Community’s Tom Pelissero, the Falcons will rent Morris — the LA Rams’ defensive coordinator — as a substitute.

The Falcons have been believed to be the one group with no head coach who interviewed Belichick this offseason.

Only two franchises stay with no head coach at this level, however each — the Commanders and the Seahawks — don’t seem to have curiosity in Belichick.

In fact, The Hoodie may at all times be a defensive coordinator someplace this season … although it seems extra possible the 71-year-old takes the 12 months off, earlier than making an attempt to renew his pursuit of the NFL’s all-time wins document in 2025.
