Thursday, CBS Sports Lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reported that the Atlanta Falcons were closing in on reaching an agreement with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris to be their new head coach and the Rams later made it official. This development is notable for multiple reasons, because it affects arguably the greatest NFL head coach of all time.
The Falcons opening was the only job former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick interviewed for, and he was considered by many to be the favorite. With that job about to be filled, it leaves just two open positions. Just this week, NBC Sports reported that multiple teams were “quietly considering a potential run at Belichick.” At least one of those teams did not have a head coach, while at least one of them did. What will happen next?
Could Belichick really be one of the losers in this game of NFL musical chairs? What are his options right now? When the Patiots parted ways with him he had more options. Below, we will break down some potential landing spots for Belichick.
The Commanders are one of two teams still looking for a new head coach, and many see this gig as an attractive one with Josh Harris at the helm and Adam Peters as the new general manager. However, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson appears to be the favorite to win this job, and since his team is in the NFC Championship game, he obviously can’t yet make his way to Ashburn. Per Jonathan Jones, Washington has had no interest in pursuing Belichick. The 71-year-old landing in Washington would surprise me.
The Seahawks are the other team yet to hire a new head coach. Going back to NBC Sports’ report, I think the Seahawks could be that team without a head coach considering a late push for Belichick. Then again, pushing out a 72-year-old for a 71-year-old doesn’t make very much sense.
The Seahawks are an impressive organization…
