Former new england patriots head coach bill belichick was “considered” for the washington job, according to espn nfl insider adam schefter on thursday, shortly after learning that the washington commanders were recruiting former dallas cowboys defensive coordinator dan quinn as their new head coach.
According to jason ounpraseuth of nesn, “i know the commanders were getting more calls and texts from people about dan quinn with positive messages from people than any other candidate.” “and that’s just the way it used to be.” On wednesday afternoon, NFC east reporter ralph vacchiano of fox sports reported that washington team sources revealed that belichick’s age (71), his ability to work under a new commander who will have more say over staff, and whether he’d even consider taking on what could be a years-long rebuilding project.
Schefter said those running the commanders are so concerned about quinn “is high energy” compared to someone with belichick’s famous demeanor. During the segment, schefter said, “they hired dan quinn because they believe in him as a leader.” “they believe in him as a man.” They believe that other people are correct in their assessment of dan quinn, who was a finalist for other head coaching positions. “they feel like they’ve got a whole energetic, upbeat, optimistic guy coming into washington to help guide the team into the future,” schefter said.
Although every franchise that had a Head-coaching position from this past fall to feb. 1 has now filled those positions, Belichick could have one last chance to join a club this winter, according to reports.
Andy reid could retire if kansas city defeats the san francisco 49ers in super bowl Lviii. The chiefs’ addition of one legend with another is expected to keep them a contender through the end of belichick’s coaching career, but it’s unclear if reid is hoping for a walkoff victory ahead of his 66th birthday, which he will celebrate in march.
