Bill Belichick might be around for a lot longer for the Saints.

Bill Belichick is done with the New England Patriots, and the New Orleans Saints could be seeing more of him. The GOATed coach is linked to a Saints rival..

There are now head coaching openings for the New Orleans Saints in two of its division opponents. The teams are the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons. To the surprise of everyone in the NFL, the New England Patriots also have an opening. Although it was inevitable that Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots would part ways for some time, it is still astonishing that it did. Naturally, everyone’s focus is shifting to Belichick’s next destination, and if rumors are to be believed, Saints supporters may become extremely familiar with him very soon.

The clubs that might be of interest are already widely reported, with the two NFC South teams being open

So here’s the thing. The Panthers are in dire need of assistance and are somewhat of a trash fire, so it seems improbable that Belichick will go there. That would largely account for the Falcons’ seeming increased likelihood of signing him and their current association with him.

Suffice to say, Belichick to the Falcons would not be ideal for the Saints. Their defense isn’t exactly lacking in talent, but a defensive mastermind like Belichick might elevate it to a new level. In terms of skill, they have guys on the offensive line, which is different from New England and might be dangerous.

Which leads us to the quarterback that the Saints and Belichick might face off against.

The Falcons might select one, but if past performance is any guide, they might not want to start Belichick next to a developing quarterback, a situation that also applies to the Panthers. Having said that, what would happen if they managed to sign Justin Fields or Russell Wilson? Well, that might cause some problems.

Ultimately, all of this is just conjecture. Though at times it seems as though we already know what the Saints are doing with their personnel, we don’t actually know anything. Nevertheless, the New Orleans Saints and their supporters might want to start acclimating to the idea of playing Bill Belichick again.
