Bill Belichick on the Eagles: Philly fans love me

Bill Belichick says Philadelphia fans love him

Bill Belichick was shut out of this spring’s head coaching carousel, but the legendary head coach is already looking toward 2025 and has the potential to replace some big names.

ESPN’s trio of Don Van Natta Jr., Seth Wickersham, and Jeremy Fowler previously broke down Belichick’s inability to land a coaching job in 2024 while outlining his goals for the future. The old-school coach won’t have many options, but he’d be interested in three NFC East teams if a vacancy developed.

During Wednesday’s episode of the Pat McAfee Show, the future Hall of Fame head coach discussed the Eagles Week 1 matchup with Green Bay when he referenced the fan base.

For Belichick, it’s all love in his mind.

Belichick joked that Philly fans hated him after the Eagles lost to New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX (24-21). That love returned after the Eagles beat the Patriots in Super Bowl LII (41-33).

Bill Belichick to do the Manningcast live from Lincoln Financial Field in Week 2

Bill Belichick will do Peyton and Eli’s Manningcast live from Lincoln Financial Field in Week 2 for the Eagles MNF matchup vs. the Falcons

Bill Belichick was shut out of this spring’s head coaching carousel, but the legendary head coach is already looking toward 2025 and has the potential to replace some big names.

One potential opening could be in Philadelphia, where Nick Sirianni enters this season on the hot seat and couldn’t possibly survive another collapse similar to 2023, when the Eagles lost six of their final seven games.

The former Patriots head coach will join Peyton and Eli Manning for the first half of select Monday night football games on the Manningcast, and his first appearance won’t be on the couch but rather live and in person to watch Sirianni’s team face the Falcons.

During the off-season, Jeffrey Lurie’s Eagles were among the teams with head coaches that considered potentially overhauling their staffs for the legendary coach. Howie Roseman checked on Belichick, only to see how the coach felt after he departed New England.

Things could get interesting if the Birds get off to a slow or stale start.
