As each day passes, it seems more and more likely that Bill Belichick will land in Atlanta as the Falcons' next head coach. 

So the question that follows is who from his current and former staff will follow the greatest coach of all time. 

And it seems one possibility has just become more likely. 

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Josh McDaniels is likely to follow Belichick wherever he goes next. 

"We will see where Bill Belichick now lands. He is inside the NFL's coaching cycle and has had not one but two interviews with the Atlanta Falcons," Rapoport said. "Belichick, of course, has interest there, and do not be surprised if Josh McDaniels ends up landing with Belichick."

There were rumors that the New England Patriots could potentially bring back McDaniels for their open offensive coordinator position after Bill O'Brien left to go back to college as Ohio State's offensive coordinator. But that doesn't seem to be happening. 

And along with McDaniels, Belichick could bring some other coaches with him. Maybe even Matt Patricia.  

While the Falcons are still conducting interviews, it feels like everyone is just waiting for them to make it official with Belichick. 

So once that happens, we can see who joins him in Atlanta.
