BREAKING: Atlanta Falcons Are Reportedly Making Shocking Head Coaching Hire As They Pass On Bill Belichick

The Atlanta Falcons are set to announce their new head coach after multiple meetings with Bill Belichick, but it’s not going to be him.

Belichick was thought to be a shoo-in for the Falcons’ vacancy, having departed New England earlier this month. However, the team has opted to hire Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris in a surprising turn of events.

Morris reportedly “killed the interview” when he met with the Falcons, per Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports. 

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’s now poised to get the job after working with the Falcons in various other capacities in the past, including assistant head coach, pass game coordinator, wide receivers coach, defensive coordinator, and interim head coach.
