Bill Belichick has six Super Bowl rings to his name as an NFL head coach.
When you have six Super Bowl rings on your head coaching resume, you get to do things a little differently than the way everybody else.
For example, the absolutely baller way that Belichick interviewed for the vacant Atlanta Falcons head coaching job on Monday.
The Falcons confirmed the interview late Monday evening.
We have interviewed Bill Belichick for our head coach opening

That alone was not surprising. But how Belichick interviewed is unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.
Earlier in the day, rumors began to circulate that Belichick was aboard Falcons owner Arthur Blank’s $180 million Oceanco super yacht named ‘dreAMBoat.’ The name if the boat is a nod to Blank’s initials:
The yacht, however, was docked in Antigua. So how exactly did Belichick get down there? Was he aboard the yacht the entire time?
Well, no.
BroBible’s Cass Anderson reported that Blank’s Bombardier Global 7500, tail number N62LV, is marked private from publicly available location data. The same can be said of Blank’s Bombardier Global 6000, tail number NG11BF. Which means that Blank very well could have (and likely did) send his private plane to pick Belichick up, fly him to Antigua, and then interview him aboard his very, very expensive yacht.
Other coaches don’t get to do that.
You think (Texans offensive coordinator) Bobby Slowik is getting flown out to islands like an IG model in order to interview for head coaching jobs?
Wouldn’t bet on it.
But this is Bill Belichick. The GOAT.
The man goes where he wants, when he wants, and how he wants.
If he were smart, he’d parlay this into other incredible interview venues. Makes Jerry Jones take you to the Maldives. See if Dean Spanos is a fan of the French Riviera.
Maybe stop off in Belize.
Because you’re Bill Belichick, and you can do that kind of thing.
