Bill Belichick will not be managing a team in the 2024 NFL season.No one can say they saw it coming, but now it’s the bitter truth. On Thursday, the Washington Chiefs announced the hiring of Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
This is the final head coach appointment for next season. That means Belichick, along with former Titans coach Mike Vrabel, are out of the equation in a surprising twist of fate.Belichick drew interest from the Atlanta Falcons, but ultimately the team decided to hire Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris along with the young coach.
That makes the Falcons the only team to interview the 71-year-old coach. On June 24, after six Super Bowl championships, Belichick and owner Robert Kraft parted ways following the Patriots’ 2023 season. But he doesn’t seem capable of breaking Don Shula’s record in Atlanta. But don’t count him out of coaching just yet.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has decided to stick with coach Mike McCarthy for one more year, but the opportunity may present itself when his contract expires next season.
Based on what Jones has said recently, it seems very likely that Belichick will go to Dallas.”I know him personally and I like him,” Jones told Yahoo Sports. “There is no doubt that we can work together. Not. Not”.So Belichick is now focused on 2025.
