Falcons Not Hiring Bill Belichick Could Hurt Patriots’ Search For OC

It might have initially felt good knowing Bill Belichick wouldn’t be joining the Atlanta Falcons, but reality is soon about to set in for New England Patriots fans.

The Falcons reportedly plan to hire Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris as their next head coach, skipping over Belichick in the process. That decision could have a ripple effect on the Patriots, negatively impacting their search for an offensive coordinator.

It’s a move that might have actually torpedoed their chances at some top candidates.

Rams pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Zac Robinson reportedly is a “strong candidate” to be the offensive coordinator in Atlanta, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
