Bill Belichick is a free agent in NFL head coaching circles and he’s attracting attention.


Less than a week after Belichick ended his 24-year tenure with the New England Patriots, Belichick met with the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced Monday night. No decision is imminent, but there is reportedly mutual interest, according to multiple reports.


Falcons’ team owner Arthur Blank and the team staff know Belichick very well. Belichick was the coach of the Patriots when they rallied from a 28-3 halftime deficit and went on to defeat the Falcons 34-28 in overtime to win Super Bowl 51.



The Super Bowl win was one of six Super Bowl titles Belichick captured during his time with the Patriots. The Patriots reached the Super Bowl nine times and won 17 AFC East titles under Belichick.


The Falcons are looking for a replacement for Arthur Smith, who was fired as head coach on Jan. 7.
