San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan reportedly gave Bill Belichick a call about the team's defensive coordinator opening.
There was a chance that we could have seen Bill Belick on the sidelines again this season — this time side-by-side with San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. After 24 seasons and six Super Bowls with the News England Patriots, Bill Belichick and the team mutually parted ways in February. However, Belichick's name was still being thrown around in conversations for different coaching positions across the league.
Wilks spent just one year with the team after serving as the interim head coach of the Carolina Panthers in 2022. According to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, Shanahan first called Belichick to offer him the defensive coordinator position, a job Belichick hasn't served since 1985 for the New York Giants under head coach Bill Parcells.
