"Why Bill Belichick Wasn't Hired: Insights from Former GM and Tom Brady"
Former Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff revealed that the team passed on hiring Bill Belichick because the existing hierarchy, including president Rich McKay, wanted to maintain their influence and control over football operations. Belichick's potential hiring would have led to significant changes, but the Falcons ultimately chose to back their current leadership and hired Raheem Morris as head coach instead. Despite interviewing Belichick twice, the Falcons were the only team to show serious interest in him, and his absence from coaching for the upcoming season was deemed "unfathomable" by Dimitroff.
