The Atlanta Falcons appear to be closing in on Bill Belichick for their head coach vacancy. According to multiple reports, the team will host the former Patriots coach for a second interview this weekend.
Belichick, 71, would be an interesting choice for a lot of reasons. He is a six-time Super Bowl champion as a head coach and the man behind the most painful loss in Falcons franchise history. Going a little deeper, though, there are some concerns about Belichick’s lack of success without an established quarterback under center.
Atlanta has a major need at the QB position and some wonder if Belichick is the right guy to make that kind of decision. Former Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff gave his take on the situation during an appearance on “Up & Adams” with Kay Adams.
“He’s the man out there that can help bring an organization to win a Super Bowl in the next three or four years over anyone,” said Dimitroff.
