Albert Breer from the MMQB.com shared that many people he spoke to in the last 24 hours are shocked that Belichick hasn’t secured a job yet. They discussed the specific market dynamics for Belichick, drawing parallels to Tom Brady’s situation.
“The people I’ve talked to the last 24 hours are stunned that he can’t get a job. Like, I think that that is probably the way Adams speaking is reflective of that because it and look like I think I mean, for me personally, it’s the idea that this like hiring cycle could end and both Bill Belichick and Mike Vrabel wouldn’t have jobs is kind of wild.” – ALBERT BREER
Breer also shed light on the potential roles Belichick could take on – coaching, front office, or a hybrid role – and the challenges he might face.
The talk then shifted to the Atlanta Falcons and their potential interest in Belichick. Breer revealed that Arthur Blank wanted Belichick as a coach, but internal concerns and dynamics within the organization may have played a role in the decision-making process. They touched on Rich McKay’s role and Belichick’s candidness in job interviews, suggesting that this might have impacted his chances. In essence, the consensus was that Belichick’s job market is complex, influenced by various factors beyond just his coaching prowess.
