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.”

Eagles Likely Bringing Back Nick Sirianni

Just several days prior, both the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys had head coaches who were considered to be on the hot seat. While the Cowboys have since re-committed to Mike McCarthy as their head coach for the 2024 season, the Eagles appear to be leaning towards bringing back Nick Sirianni for a fourth season.

“For now, it’s looking like Sirianni will stay,” wrote Florio on Sunday, January 21. “If so, the Eagles won’t announce he’s staying; he’ll just stay.”
