Belichick’s interview with Atlanta is after he and Blank met earlier this week for a one-on-one meeting, which also happened to be the very first interview Belichick has held for a head coaching job since parting from the New England Patriots after 24 seasons with the team.
The Falcons also interviewed Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh.
This is absolutely intriguing to me, and we also have this viral tweet floating around …

You’re talking about a second interview with the general manager and CEO now being present, this after Belichick and Blank reportedly met on the latter’s flashy superyacht for a first conversation.
Bill Belichick as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons … it could happen, and I’m all for it.
