Throughout a rollercoaster of a head coaching search, the Falcons appeared to be set to select Bill Belichick until it was reported unexpectedly that Raheem Morris had been given the position.
Arthur Blank was reportedly pushed away from Belichick owing to the impact he would have on the organization, since he was expected to bring his entire entourage to Atlanta.
However, there appear to be contradicting sentiments currently. Boomer Esiason, a WFAN host and former NFL quarterback, learned from an NFL executive that it was Belichick who was not interested in the Falcons, and that owner Arthur Blank made him an offer.

“I was told yesterday, and I do believe it from the source that I got it from, that supposedly Arthur Blank was bought into Bill Belichick and could have offered him the job,” Esiason stated while appearing on the “Boomer and Gio” radio show on Monday.
“I’m not sure why guys say no, but an NFL executive really informed me that they believe Arthur Blank offered Bill the position. Now, there could have been some conditions to that offer; you never know; it’s never ‘OK Bill, I want you, here’s a five-year deal, do anything you want.’ I do not think it was one of those.
