The Atlanta Falcons have a new head coach, and his name isn’t Bill Belichick.
Shockingly, the Falcons have reportedly made the decision to hire Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris over the legendary six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.
Atlanta interviewed with Belichick twice with most signs indicating him as the frontrunner for the job.
