The Bow Tie Chronicles: Falcons’ coach search is in full swing

FILE — New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who had little time for the long sleeves on his sweatshirts and usually cut them off, on the sidelines of the Patriots’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, on Feb. 4, 2018. The head coach of the Patriots, who has parted ways with the team after 24 years, won six Super Bowls with a taciturn approach that rewarded performance over potential.

In the 448th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, host D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Ben Volin, senior NFL writer at The Boston Globe, discuss Bill Belichick and if the Falcons are a good landing spot for the six-time Super Bowl-winning coach.

Volin reported in November Belichick that could land in Atlanta back. We also look at the other nine candidates that have been linked to the opening to replace Arthur Smith as Falcons head coach.
