NFL Rumors: Patriots Legend Bill Belichick Didn't View Falcons as a 'True Contender'

After Bill Belichick's exit from the New England Patriots, the legendary head coach was looking to continue his coaching career with the right team.

One of the interested teams was the Atlanta Falcons, who interviewed Belichick twice. However, the franchise ultimately hired Raheem Morris for their head coaching job, and now Belichick enters 2024 without an NFL gig.

While there have been many rumors about Belichick's candidacy for Atlanta's head coaching job, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on The Rich Eisen Show on Thursday that the legendary bench boss didn't view the Falcons as a true title contender.
