The coaching carousel has been a wild one just a few weeks into the off season, and one of the major questions is where will Bill Belichick land. The long time legendary New England Patriots head coach is looking for a new team for next year and a former player of his Julian Edelman named his best option for his former coach today on the Colin Cowherd show.
While Belichick has been linked to every team whos fan base wants a new coach, there are only a few teams that are apparently really interested in the all time coach. The Atlanta Falcons have been linked to the coach and have brought him for an interview, but Edelman thinks that the best fit for the legendary coach would be the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles and head coach Nick Sirianni got exposed by Tampa Bay in the Wild Card weekend. Many have now called for Siranni to be fired and who would be better for a team that is ready to win now than Bill Belichick. The most notable issues the Eagles had down the stretch were there lack of good play and production from their cornerbacks and linebackers and that happens to be what Belichick is best at.
Julian Edelman Says Bill Belichick Should Go To The Eagles
Edelman went on the Cowherd show today and gave his reasons as to why he felt the Eagles would be the best spot for Belichick. He mentioned three reasons as for this. Firstly that the Eagles are in a win now mode and they have great players like Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown. Secondly, he said that where they are lacking, is exactly what Belichick is good at with corners and linebackers.
He also mentioned how the location is perfect, because the coach has so much family in the New England area and this would make a lot of sense to be close to his family and grandkids. The most important factor Edelman said was that Belichick has a lot of respect for Eagles GM Howie Roseman who has been exceptional and beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
The legendary coach is just 15 wins away from being the greatest winner ever for a head coach and so he would want to go a team that will get those wins. Edelman wants to see his former coach in Philly, and he thinks that it would be a great match for all the parties involved. While the Eagles have not been vocal about whether or not they are sticking with Sirianni, there have been some signs that he may not be the coach next year.
If Belichick would take over, they would be a much scarier team to everyone in the NFC, and he is the perfect coach to get that defense in order. The only issue would be if Howie Roseman and Belichick would be able to coexist. Either way we will see where the legendary coach lands soon.
