Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could quickly find himself a job in the NFL after being interviewed by the Atlanta Falcons.
The team itself confirmed on Monday that it had met the 71-year-old man. According to the NFL Network, the eight-time Super Bowl winner sat down with owner Arthur Blank to discuss the head coaching spot left vacant by Arthur Smith’s firing last week.

The interest between the two camps would be mutual and it could be a good challenge for Belichick. The Falcons haven’t played .500 since 2017 and in Smith’s three seasons at the helm, they went 7-10 each time.
In addition to the former Pats strongman, Atlanta has discussed with five other candidates so far, including former Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks.
Belichick’s 24-season association with the Patriots ended by mutual agreement last Thursday. The team was left out of the playoff picture for the third time in four years. Former star linebacker Jerod Mayo succeeded him.
