The Atlanta Falcons are considering Bill Belichick as a potential head coach, with Falcons owner Arthur Blank expressing a strong desire to hire him. Despite ongoing interviews with other candidates, including Mike Vrabel, Belichick remains a top candidate. The process is described as 'wide open' and 'thorough', with the Falcons conducting second interviews with multiple candidates. Rob Gronkowski and others have highlighted the potential fit between Belichick and the Falcons, citing the team's underachievement as a factor. The situation is fluid, with reports indicating that Belichick is not yet the front runner for the job, and other teams are also considering making a run at him.
