With the hiring of Dan Quinn as their new head coach, the Washington Commanders have not only filled the NFL’s final head coaching vacancy, but they also may have sealed the 2024 fate of sidelines legend. 
While Quinn reportedly beat out Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, Baltimore Ravens defensive line coach Anthony Weaver and Commanders offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy as finalists for the position, one name conspicuous by its absence that of former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
After “mutually and amicably” agreeing to part ways with the Patriots in January, Belichick was either conveniently forgotten — or perhaps egregiously overlooked — in the recent running of the NFL coaching carousel.
Though Washington may not have been as closely linked to his services as teams such as the Atlanta Falcons, they reportedly did perform their due diligence on the 71-year-old throughout the past month.
