When the New England Patriots and legendary head coach Bill Belichick parted ways earlier this year, it was understood that Belichick would continue coaching in the NFL for another team. But unfortunately for Belichick, it doesn’t look like another team is going to give him that chance.
On Thursday, the Atlanta Falcons decided to hire Raheem Morris as the team’s next head coach instead of Bill Belichick. As a result, it’s looking like Belichick will not have the chance to coach in the NFL next season, after all.
“The #Falcons were the only team to interview legendary coach Bill Belichick, and there are no known scheduled interviews. Potentially, Belichick could sit out the year and await an opportunity in 2025,” NFL insider Ian Rapoport said in a post on X, the social media website formerly known as Twitter.

“Regarding Bill Belichick: The Seahawks and Commanders are the final two vacant jobs. Washington has had no interest in pursuing Belichick and appear focused on Ben Johnson. Seattle hasn’t requested to interview Belichick,” NFL insider Jonathan Jones of CBS said in a post on X.

Despite Belichick’s proven track record of success and his six Super Bowl championships, it seems like he might be out of coaching entirely next season.
