Two NFL Teams Reportedly Showing Serious Interest In Bill Belichick As Their Next Head Coach
Bill Belichick might have a way back into the NFL soon.
A new report says at least two teams want to speak with him about their open head-coach jobs, and a third team might also join in. The update comes from NFL insider Josina Anderson, who has closely followed his situation.
The New York Giants and Jets are not involved. The Giants fired Brian Daboll, and many expected them to call Belichick, but he made it clear he wasn’t interested. The Giants’ ownership didn’t push for him either. That leaves room for other teams that are looking for strong leadership.
Anderson reported, “I’m told ‘at least two NFL teams’ are still* expected to have interest in talking to Bill Belichick, behind-the-scenes* at the very least, about head coach jobs this Carousel season, per a league source”.
Some people around the league misread the last hiring round. Belichick interviewed with the Falcons and looked at other jobs, but his own preferences played a bigger role than many realized. She now says there’s something more going on.
“There’s more to the story of why Belichick did not end up head coaching another NFL team a couple seasons ago–with his own desires & preferences regarding workplace dynamics playing more into a part of it, than I think has been discussed, publicly known, or given real credence,” Josina revealed. “At any rate, Belichick still has deep respect from a number of owners across the league, and that is what matters.”
Teams That Could Make A Move For Belichick
The Jets might sound like an interesting spot for Belichick, but they seem committed to Aaron Glenn for now. The team is struggling near the bottom of the league, and even though Belichick knows the AFC East better than almost anyone, the Jets don’t look ready to make a change.

The Titans look like a more realistic option. They fired Brian Callahan and need strong leadership fast. The team wants stability and a clear plan for rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Belichick’s experience could give them both, and he could help reset the culture after a tough stretch.
Belichick keeps saying he plans to stay at North Carolina, but his name keeps coming up in NFL talks. Many people around the league think he would consider returning if the right team made an offer. Anderson’s report adds fuel to that idea. If even two teams move forward, Belichick could make an NFL comeback.
For now, he’s focused on UNC, while the rest of the league keeps an eye on him.
