NFL legend Bill Belichick was offered a spot on The Ringer Podcast Network after Bill Simmons became a six-time Super Bowl champion with the Atlanta Falcons.
Belichick is set to leave the New England Patriots after a rocky 2023 season, ending a 24-year partnership between the two sides.
Ultimately, the legendary coach helped lead New England from a winless organization to a six-time Super Bowl champion, with quarterback Tom Brady and owner Rob Kraft as the backbone of one of the greatest dynasties in sports history north american When Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Patriots struggled and the team slipped to a 4-13 record in 2023. The poor season prompted Belichick to step down as head coach and de facto general manager, and the Falcons took considering a departure for the Atlanta icon.
The NFC South franchise finished third in its division after going 7–10 in the regular season, firing Arthur Smith and missing the playoffs again. The Falcons interviewed Belichick twice, but ultimately decided to go with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.It was considered a short-term decision because of Belichick’s age, but Simmons was surprised. However, the sports journalist and founder/CEO of The Ringer saw this development as an opportunity.
In the video They gave him two interviews. He won six Super Bowls. He is a football genius. He stole the Super Bowl from Seattle. Check out that band Atlanta. I don’t think that came up in the two interviews, idiot*****. That’s why you’re the Atlanta Falcons. They didn’t hire him anyway. Bill Belichick, come to The Ringer. There is a place for you. I have Tuesday and Thursday. Come Doc Rivers. Come for an hour and we’ll talk about football that season. You can guess my rules and Sal’s if you want. You can wear whatever you want. You can do it right in the kitchen in Nantucket, where you sketched it that year. “I think you’re great in the media. Who am I arguing with? I am asking the Swedes (owners of Spotify) to write me a check.
You’ve won six Super Bowls and now, a year later, you’re coaching the Dallas Cowboys after a year with The Ringer. Let’s join forces. “You know how to contact me.”The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders are two teams that do not yet have head coaching vacancies. No franchise has been linked to a move for Belichick. Belichick can now sit on the sidelines and see how the season plays out before returning to the league.
