Bill Belichick to Falcons 'lost momentum' in recent days: report

Rob Gronkowski dishes on why he believes Bill Belichick to the Atlanta Falcons makes sense.

It seemed like a forgone conclusion last week that Bill Belichick was going to become the next head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, but a new report Tuesday appeared to dampen those chances.

Atlanta seems to be going through a thorough process. The team interviewed Belichick for the second time last week, but he is just one of 13 total coaches that have been interviewed for the job.

The notion of "Belichick or bust" is an inaccurate assumption, The Athletic reported. Furthermore, Belichick’s path to Atlanta has reportedly "lost momentum."

On Sunday, the Falcons announced they had interviewed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson for the job. 

Other candidates include Ravens defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Ravens assistant head coach/defensive line coach Anthony Weaver, Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, Bills interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady and Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.

It is unclear when the Falcons will make a final decision.

Rob Gronkowski told Fox News Digital why the Falcons are an intriguing team for Belichick.
