Bill Belichick, the former new england patriots head coach, will soon have his second interview with the atlanta falcons, but certain reports hint that he could potentially join a different NFC south team this offseason.
Patriots insider seth Wickersham suggested that Belichick should follow in the footsteps of former new england quarterback tom brady and join the tampa bay buccaneers if the buccaneers are willing to step down with current head coach todd bowles during an interview with michael grant of awful announcing.
Wickersham said, “i think an ideal spot for bill would be similar to what brady found in tampa bay,” “where you have a team that is strong and needs the presence of authority, greatness, and work ethic to help them get over the hump.” if tampa bay lost this past monday’s home wild-card playoff game to the philadelphia eagles, “probably” would have been interested in Belichick.
Although the buccaneers won a 32-9 victory over philadelphia, bowles holds a poor overall record of 18-18 as tampa bay’s head coach heading into sunday’s divisional postseason matchup against the detroit lions. “he has the best résumé of any free-agent coach in modern nfl history,” Wickersham said of Belichick. baker mayfield signed a one-year deal with the buccaneers last season, but he seems to have earned the right to run it back with the buccaneers for at least another season.
For what it’s worth, Belichick praised mayfield on several occasions while he was new england’s coach, and the joebucsfan website announced on thursday that atlanta “has a lot to offer when it comes to weapons and a running game” and “could use” a quarterback upgrade like mayfield.
To draft mayfield to the falcons later this season, belichick may not have to sign him to the falcons.
