That’s according to former tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has ‘no doubt’ the six-time Super Bowl winner is as good as ever.

But the 71-year-old has been linked with several coaching vacancies in the NFL. He is reportedly set for a second interview with the Falcons this weekend.
‘If he goes to a team with great players with great talent, he will be successful,’ Gronkowski insisted.

‘Because he’s still the powerhouse coach that we all have seen throughout the years.’

Belichick will reportedly meet with the Falcons hierarchy for a second time this weekend after holding face-to-face talks with owner Arthur Blank.

Belichick’s iconic 24-year stint with the New England Patriots came to an end this month, with the two parties mutually agreeing to go their separate ways on the back of a disastrous 4-13 campaign.

Despite nearing his 72nd birthday, the veteran head coach is steering clear of retirement for now and instead hunting down his next job.
