Belichick to the Falcons incoming?

I know there is an around the league coaching search thread.  
But going to put this out here because is only so much we can gurgle ***** and moan about owner, former coach/GM, QB, OL, or anything else I left off.

 

But looking like Bill is going to our division rival.

Falcons (as it’s been pointed out in another thread) also have been denying assistants interview opportunities elsewhere……until yesterday.  Where it was reported they have been told they can interview for employment elsewhere.

Now looks like Bill is back for another interview with them today.

Think the Falcons still have to interview two Rooney Rule candidates in-person before they can hire Belichick, but yeah I think he'll likely end up there. Wouldn't be surprised to see them bring in Leslie Frazier and another currently unemployed "candidate" (like the Raiders did with Kris Richard) so they can move quickly here.

I'm not worried. Belichick hasn't looked anywhere as good without Brady and I highly doubt he finds another QB that good before he retires.

Not so sure that's a complete assessment.  It's much more fair to say Belichick hasn't looked as good without his offensive coordinator.  Mac Jones was a Pro Bowl QB running Josh McDaniels system, and now he looks like a bust.

He's also been the GM up there, and wrecked the roster.  In Atlanta, they have a GM who has done a pretty good job of building a roster.  Effectively, the weaknesses that caused the downturn in Foxboro have been largely accounted for in Atlanta.

I am not excited about having him in our division, with McDaniels and that set of skill players.  If Atlanta winds up with a QB, it's going to suck for us.

Still not worried. As for sucking for us? That's going to happen anyway. The Panthers look to be years away from competing for anything other than last place in the division.

Belichick doesn't worry me as much as Atlanta actually drafting a good QB. That’s the real worry we should have. They have weapons and a decent D and if they upgrade the QB spot, they would be a favorite for the division. TB actually has the most cap space but Atlanta is in good shape (just a bit more than us). NO is the only team that has a crazy amount of cap work to do.

    • In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit. 
    • Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
