Fans largely point out that Belichick handed the Falcons one of the worst postseason losses. Atlanta led the Patriots 28-3 during the 2017 Super Bowl. However, Belichick led New England to an astonishing comeback that forever haunts Falcons fans.
Ironically, Belichick is interested in coaching the team he caused to have a monumental collapse. Nevertheless, Belichick would be a great to Atlanta.
The longtime Patriots coach spent 24 seasons with the Patriots and led the team to nine Super Bowls. Thus, he is one of the most winning coaches in NFL history. His last recent with New England did not go as planned, but a fresh start could be just what he needs.
The Falcons finished the season at 7-10 and failed to make the NFL Playoffs. Still, the team possesses talent Belichick could help take to the next level. As Atlanta's offseason progresses, fans are anxious to see who their next head coach will be.
