NFL Rumors: Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll Might Sit Out in 2024 as Falcons Hire Raheem Morris

Raheem Morris was the Los Angeles Rams’ defensive coordinator since 2021. But he was recently appointed as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. This role marks Morris’ return to the Falcons. His tenure with the franchise from 2015 to 2020 included positions such as wide receiver coach and interim head coach.

Also, there’s growing speculation about the hiring prospects for veteran coaches like Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll. Initially, Belichick was a potential candidate for the Falcons’ head coaching job, but that’s not the case anymore, as Morris has already been appointed. Now, it raises questions about the marketability of seasoned coaches. Will they still get hired?

Belichick and Carroll may stay out this year!

As reported by Adam Schefter, notable developments have emerged regarding the hiring of Bill and Carroll. Furthermore, the Seattle Seahawks and Washington Commanders are the final teams with head coach vacancies. They are planning to make their selections after the conference championship games.

Among the candidates on hire are esteemed coaches such as Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and Pete Carroll, complemented by Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Anthony Weaver, Ejiro Evero, Mike Macdonald, Dan Quinn, and Bobby Slowik. Adam Schefter posted this on X. He captioned, “The last two head coach openings of this cycle are the Seahawks and Commanders. Neither team is expected to hire anyone until next week, after Sunday’s conference championship games, per league sources.”

Pete Carroll also recently transitioned from his long-standing role as the Seahawks’ head coach to an advisory position. This change was announced on the Seahawks’ Instagram page. As Carroll and Belichick wait for the Seahawks and Commanders’ decision, what is expected of Belichick in the future?

Belichick weighs potential offers from Cowboys and Bills

The Dallas Cowboys are now speculated to consider Bill a key prospect, particularly if Mike McCarthy’s tenure ends after this season or earlier due to underwhelming performance.

Belichick’s potential impact on the Cowboys’ strong roster is noteworthy. Simultaneously, the Bills emerge as another destination for Belichick. While Sean McDermott will continue as head coach next season, a poor start or another early playoff exit could lead to changes.

Now, considering all of this, Belichick’s strategy of not rushing into another coaching role appears to be a calculated decision. What do you think about this? Let us know below.
