Head Coaching Vacancies Remain for Seahawks and Commanders
The Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders are currently the only teams in the NFL with head coaching vacancies. As the hiring process continues, one name that has been buzzing around the league is former New England Patriots head coach, Bill Belichick. However, recent reports suggest that his chances of filling either position are slim.
Belichick, a respected and accomplished coach, is seen as a long shot for both openings. Despite his success with the Patriots, where he won six Super Bowls during his 24-year tenure, Belichick’s departure from the team came after a disappointing 4-13 season.
One team that seemed to have some interest in Belichick was the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons had even scheduled an interview with the legendary coach. However, they ultimately chose to hire Raheem Morris as their new head coach, leaving Belichick out of the equation.
The Washington Commanders were another team that had been previously linked to Belichick. However, recent reports indicate that they are no longer interested in pursuing him for their vacant head coaching position. This has raised speculation about the future of Belichick’s coaching career.
In fact, some observers have suggested that Belichick might not coach at all in the upcoming 2024 season. This would mark a significant change, as Belichick has been a part of an NFL coaching staff for an impressive 49 years.
If Belichick does not end up coaching in any capacity in 2024, it will be the first time in nearly five decades that he will not be a part of the football world. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Belichick is just 15 wins away from surpassing Don Shula’s all-time record, making him one of the most successful coaches in NFL history.
As the Seahawks and Commanders continue their search for new head coaches, it remains to be seen whether or not Belichick will find himself back on an NFL sideline in the near future. For now, fans and football enthusiasts eagerly await the final decision for these head coaching vacancies.
