NFL Owner Might Go Against Front Office To Hire HC Bill Belichick

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick will enter the 2024 NFL season with a new team and the Atlanta Falcons have been mentioned as a top target for the head coach. Is Belichick going to Atlanta? Recent scenario offers a realistic Belichick scenario and a NFL owner got really honest about it.

Belichick had an interview with the Falcons and he seems to be willing to join a “quiet team.”

Bill Simmons shared an awkward take on the whole situation, reporting that the Falcons front office does not want Belichick.

“The Atlanta thing, there’s a lot of buzz going around right now about the Atlanta job, that the executives are there are trying — and I’ve heard this, I’m telling you from so many different people — basically Arthur Blank wants to hire Bill Belichick, and all the front office people in Atlanta don’t want to hire Belichick because it’s like any big company — sport franchises are like microcosms of all big companies,” Simmons said on his podcast.

“The people that run the franchise, they just want to keep their jobs, they’re in job preservation mode, so they’re like ‘Maybe we hire Raheem Morris.’ Yeah, you hire Raheem Morris, he’s young, you’ll have your job for five more years.

“You bring in Belichick — you think Belichick’s going to listen to like [John] McKay’s kid … or [general manager Terry] Fontenot. He’s going to be like, ‘I’m going to do my own thing.’ “

Belichick could accept the deal from another owner

The Falcons may not hire Belichick, but several other teams can definitely make a move. He could ink a deal with the Bulls and this move makes perfect sense.

“Belichick going to Buffalo, though. I kinda like it. I don’t know if he’d stay in the AFC East but it does have the Jets, who he owns, he gets to go against [Robert] Kraft every year, which there is a little bit of residue and bad blood, gets Miami, gets an awesome QB, gets a team that can win between 10-13, he breaks the record in two years,” Simmons said. “If you’re Buffalo, aren’t you like, ‘Hey, let’s get Bill Belichick, how much money you want?’ And then he gets to live in Buffalo, he can wear heavy hats and big parkas and just be super cold, and if you’re Buffalo fans, you’re like, ‘Hey, maybe this will end our curse, we get Bill Belichick.’”
