Whether the search takes a week or a month, the rumors and reporting around the quest for a new Atlanta Falcons head coach will be frequent and by turns intriguing and alarming. Trying to make sense of all of them is sure to be dizzying. We’ll do our best here. This will be a daily roundup of all the reports and rumors fit to use digital ink on, beginning with the same day the Falcons fired Arthur Smith. January 8 Bill Belichick continues to be a hot name linked to Atlanta’s coaching search. NFL insiders have been floating that in recent days even before Arthur Smith was officially out, and that’s continuing now that he’s gone. Dianna Russini is the latest to make that link. Bill Belichick is still the head coach in New England but the Atlanta Falcons are a team to watch if Belichick is available. They are interested, per sources.— Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) January 8, 2024 Why Belichick? He’s the most decorated coach in NFL history, Arthur Blank has seen him pile up wins against Atlanta, and it would be a move intended to make the Falcons a winner immediately. Whether that would actually happen remains to be seen—I have my doubts about Belichick’s ability to get the job done at this stage of his career—but that has to be the thinking.
