Belichick, Cowboys & Eagles: Do Falcons Need ‘Hurry Hire’?

Bill Belichick, Dallas Cowboys & Philadelphia Eagles: Do Atlanta Falcons Need ‘Hurry Hire’ Coach?

Maybe it’s because of the six Super Bowls, or maybe it’s because the puppeteer Bill Belichick has played this NFL Coaching Carousel game with his usual manipulative ruthlessness..

But suddenly, it appears that the Atlanta Falcons - who on Monday conducted an official job interview for their head coaching job with the deposed Patriots legend - have competition …

And it’s competition from two teams who don’t even have vacancies.

As a result of a flood of gossip being churned out of the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles rumor mill, Falcons owner Arthur Blank may now need to step on the accelerator of urgency when it comes to securing a deal for Belichick.

Or, at least, that’s the impression being created by Belichick and his minions.

The Falcons facing competition from an Eagles team that was in the Super Bowl a year ago? And from a Cowboys team that just assembled three straight 12-5 seasons?.

Yes, coach Nick Sirianni’s Eagles and Coach Mike McCarthy’s Cowboys just got dumped in the playoffs. But they’ve not yet been deemed “safe” in their buildings … 

And there sits the 71-year-old vulture Belichick … waiting for his pick?should they fire their current head coaches.

Owner Arthur Blank can offer organizational control of the sort Belichick is used to … and the sort unlikely to be available in Dallas or Philadelphia.

Can Belichick be influenced to seal the deal with Atlanta now? Unfortunately, the Falcons - though they may wish want to secure a deal before Dallas or Philly finalize their setups - aren’t in charge here.

With his usual manipulative ruthlessness, Bill Belichick is.
