NFL insider Adam Schefter, as reported on ESPN, revealed that Belichick had a meeting with several members of the Falcons' organization on Friday (as reported by Mike Kadlick of WEEI). Schefter emphasized that Belichick is the primary focus for Atlanta's coaching staff, as both parties engage in a "fact-finding mission."
Just last week, Bill Belichick and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft held a press conference to officially announce the departure of the legendary head coach after 24 years. During his tenure, Belichick led the Patriots to an impressive 17 division titles, nine AFC Championships, and six Super Bowl victories.
The Falcons decided to part ways with head coach Arthur Smith after a third consecutive 7-10 finish. The team hasn't reached the playoffs since 2017, which also marks their last winning season.
With the Las Vegas Raiders appointing Antonio Pierce as their full-time head coach, there are now six head coaching vacancies yet to be filled.
