If this really is the end of Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots, he will have a ton of suitors as every team would love to have the greatest coach in NFL history.
Another team has reportedly emerged as a possible landing spot for the legendary coach, if the Patriots make the decision to part ways with him after a terrible 2023 season.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Bill Belichick’s name has “come up frequently” in connection with the Atlanta Falcons.
Rapoport wrote on Sunday:
“But a loss would drop Atlanta to 1-4 over its final five games of the regular season and ensure a third straight seven-win season, heightening scrutiny on the progress of the football operation at a time when there could be big-name coaches — including Patriots legend Bill Belichick, whose name has come up frequently in connection with Atlanta in conversations with league sources the past week — potentially becoming available.”
Belichick could be the figurehead needed to help get the Falcons over the hump. They have tons of talent like Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts which was never fully utilized in 2023.

Falcons have not finished better than third in the NFC South in each of the last four seasons. The team has been on a downhill since they blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl against the Patriots, which was a team coached by Belichick.
The Falcons also have the No. 8 overall pick at the 2024 NFL Draft, which could be a key tool in finding their franchise quarterback and making this an even more appealing landing spot.
