Dennis Allen fired: 5 Saints head coach candidates

Bill Belichick

Belichick’s name will likely come up for most head-coaching vacancies over the next couple of months and he could be a potential target in New Orleans. Belichick’s resume speaks for itself as he has coached for well over four decades in the NFL and has spent nearly 30 years as a head coach. Belichick built the Patriots into a dynasty with six Super Bowl championships but his tenure in New England ended on a sour note as the Pats failed to find success post-Tom Brady. It’s fair to question how much the 72-year-old has left in the tank on the sidelines, but he could be the right fit if the franchise chooses not to enter a full-blown rebuild. Belichick would be a splashy hire for the Saints and would earn a coveted chance to prove himself with another team.
