Atlanta Falcons complete a second interview with former Patriots coach Bill Belichick

ATLANTA (AP) — Bill Belichick completed his second coaching interview with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, moving closer to joining the franchise that endured its biggest disappointment with him on the opposite sideline.

The Falcons also met virtually with Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, but all eyes were on Belichick amid reports that he was the team’s top choice and had flown to Atlanta on one of owner Arthur Blank’s private jets.

If Belichick heads to the Falcons, a team that hasn’t had a winning season since 2017 and has never won a Super Bowl championship, it would be a stunning turn of events.
