The Bow Tie Chronicles: Falcons’ coach search is in full swing

FILE — New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who had little time for the long sleeves on his sweatshirts and usually cut them off, on the sidelines of the Patriots’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, on Feb. 4, 2018. The head coach of the Patriots, who has parted ways with the team after 24 years, won six Super Bowls with a taciturn approach that rewarded performance over potential.
