After his departure from the New England Patriots, everything pointed out to Bill Belichick becoming the new coach of the Atlanta Falcons. The two challenges were very clear: surpass Don Shula’s win record and finally conquer a Super Bowl without Tom Brady.

In the last few weeks, the legend had two interviews with the Falcons, and no other team scheduled talks with him. When Jim Harbaugh signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, it seemed that Atlanta would lean towards Belichick.

However, the Atlanta Falcons have surprised the NFL by ruling out Bill Belichick. Now, Raheem Morris, former defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams, will be the new head coach of the team.

“I am overjoyed for the opportunity for my family and I to return to Atlanta as the Falcons head coach. We know from firsthand experience what a first-class organization Atlanta is and what this team means to its city and its fans. I am incredibly appreciative of Arthur Blank for his leadership and for this entire organization for putting its trust in me to help lead this team.”

What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?

Unless a last-minute surprise occurs, Bill Belichick won’t have a team for the 2024 season. The only team without a coach are the Washington Commanders after the Seattle Seahawks announced the arrival of Mike Macdonald.

A few days ago, several reports confirmed that the Commanders are not interested in Belichick. That will leave the legendary coach with no options for the 2024 season.
