Two Teams Have Expressed Interest In Bill Belichick

"According to Josina Anderson, two unidentified NFL teams have recently expressed interest in the future Hall of Fame coach. This follows a report from last month that Belichick was expected to receive interest from multiple organizations. While Anderson doesn't mention any definitive suitors, she does note that "upper-level personnel" with the Falcons, Giants, and Browns are "still fond" of Belichick."

"After the Giants moved on from coach Brian Daboll in November, there were some rumblings that the organization could take another look at Belichick. The coach was quick to deny any interest in the opening while restating his commitment to the Tar Heels. Similarly, there were reports that Belichick wasn't included in the team's "shortlist of candidates." Either way, depending on the results of the Giants' initial survey of coaching candidates, it wouldn't be completely unfounded for the team to land back on Belichick."

"Browns ownership doesn't have any connection to the coach; in fact, Belichick coached the iteration of the Browns that ultimately transformed into the Baltimore Ravens franchise. The 73-year-old still represents a major "what if" for the city of Cleveland. Belichick never had the same success as he would later have in New England. In five seasons with the Browns, he only had a single winning season, and he finished his tenure with a 36-44 record."

Bill Belichick's return to football as North Carolina head coach has produced underwhelming results on the field and an unusual amount of off-field news. Two unidentified NFL teams have recently expressed interest in him, and prior reports suggested multiple organizations would pursue him. Upper-level personnel with the Falcons, Giants, and Browns remain fond of Belichick. The Giants previously employed Belichick as defensive coordinator, where he won two Super Bowls. After Brian Daboll's departure the Giants briefly considered Belichick, though he denied interest and reaffirmed commitment to North Carolina. Belichick's Browns tenure included one winning season and a 36-44 record.
