The interview is scheduled to take place this weekend and will involve Falcons CEO Rich McKay and general manager Terry Fontenot.

This comes after Belichick had a one-on-one meeting with Falcons owner Arthur Blank earlier in the week, marking his first interview after spending an illustrious 24 seasons with the New England Patriots. Belichick's remarkable tenure with the Patriots included six Super Bowl titles and a total of 302 wins as an NFL head coach.

The Falcons, who recently fired head coach Arthur Smith after three consecutive underwhelming seasons, have already interviewed seven potential candidates for the position. Belichick's name stood out among the list, along with Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and other candidates with varying degrees of experience and success.

While Belichick's remarkable success with the Patriots is unquestionable, his recent years in New England have been marked by disappointments. Over the past four seasons, Belichick's team struggled with a regular-season record of 29-38, particularly after the departure of star quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots finished with a 4-13 record in 2023, which was Belichick's worst mark as a head coach.

It remains unknown if Belichick has engaged in discussions with other franchises about head coaching vacancies. The Dallas Cowboys were rumored to be a potential landing spot, but they recently decided to retain head coach Mike McCarthy after a surprising loss in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who acquired the team in 2002, has been on the lookout for a championship-caliber coach to lead the franchise. Despite securing four division titles and making eight playoff appearances under Blank's ownership, the Falcons have yet to capture a championship. Their only Super Bowl appearance since Blank took over resulted in a devastating loss to Belichick's Patriots, where the Falcons held a commanding 28-3 lead late in the third quarter.

Blank has previously aimed to bring in renowned coaches like Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells, but both attempts were unsuccessful. Now, with the possibility of Belichick potentially joining the Falcons, Blank may finally have the opportunity to secure his long sought-after coaching "white whale."

The interview process is still ongoing, but the potential pairing of Belichick and the Falcons is shaping up to be a fascinating development. Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates on this intriguing coaching search.
