Bill Belichick to the Falcons still isn’t done despite having multiple interviews and being clearly the most accomplished available head coach left for the taking.
The owner seems to desperately want Belichick, and Belichick seems to be interested in Atlanta. So, why the delay?
Boomer says there are reasons behind the hold-up.
“All those leaks that are coming out of there now are people that are in self-preservation mode,” Boomer said. “They’re trying to save their jobs. They know Bill Belichick…goes into that owner’s office…and says ‘The first thing we need to do is clear out the building.’ He’s demanding. He knows what it takes, and he wants to control the building.”
Boomer says the situation feels like one that occurred in New York back in the day, so it shouldn’t be a shock that Belichick still doesn’t have a job.
“This is like hiring Bill Parcells,” Boomer said. “When he left the Patriots to come to the Jets, it took forever to figure it all out.”
