The Philadelphia Eagles reportedly expressed interest in a well-known head coach — only to be rebuffed.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Eagles reportedly “expressed interest” in Bill Belichick. However, the longtime ex-New England Patriots head coach didn’t reciprocate interest in Philadelphia.
“One league source explained it, Belichick is believed to be done with ‘big-market media,’ making him more inclined to go to a place like Atlanta than Dallas or Philadelphia,” Florio wrote on Thursday, January 18. “As to the Cowboys and the Eagles, there’s also a belief in some league circles that both teams expressed interest in Belichick, that Belichick didn’t reciprocate, and that those teams then decided to stick with their current coaches.”
