Toucher & Hardy: Another NFL insiders ramp up Bill Belichick speculation with zero evidence
In this morning’s Toucher & Hardy radio program, Fred and Hardy discussed Mike Florio‘s “reporting” on potential landing spots for Bill Belichick. Hardy mentioned that Florio had previously spread fake information about Dallas being interested in Belichick. Fred criticized Florio for being proven wrong and throwing baseless information.

“Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, multiple teams are quietly considering a potential run at Belichick,” Mike Florio wrote. “At least one currently has a head-coaching vacancy. At least one currently does not.”
Florio then presented the idea that teams are considering interviewing Belichick but need to be cautious about fan and media reactions.
WATCH HERE:
The guys mocked Florio’s vague information, highlighting the lack of credibility. They speculated on teams, with Toucher sarcastically suggesting Buffalo as a potential landing spot. The conversation ended with skepticism about the pressure on Atlanta to hire Belichick and the hosts questioning the legitimacy of Florio’s claims.
TRANSCRIPT:
Mike Florio: The other reality here for Belichick. I’m told there are teams thinking about making a run or interviewing him, but it’s kind of like you have to be ready to even put your toe in that water. It’s news. How’s the fan base going to react?
Fred Toucher: Yeah, you have to be ready to put your toe in that water. You were saying so much, you know, to hire Bill Belichick, you have to be willing to think about hiring Bill Belichick. Put your toe in the water news.
Mike Florio: How’s the fan base going to react? How’s the media going to do? Like are we ready for this? Is this what we want to do? And of the teams, at least one currently has a vacancy at head coach and at least one currently does not.
Fred Toucher: Oh, you have the rest of it. Do you have the rest of the quick?
Hardy: No, I do not. It’s more mysterious this way.
Fred Toucher: Oh, yeah, well, it is because he goes, “I don’t know what team it is.”
Hardy: Haha!
Fred Toucher: I can come on the air and go, “Guys. I’ve heard Bill Belichick has got a team that currently has a head coach that’s interested in him. I don’t know what team it is. I’ve just heard that that is true.'”
