NFL

Is there a reason why people are assuming Belichick will retire if he leaves the Patriots? He seems to live and breathe football and I’m sure teams would line up to give him jobs, albeit not as GM. I just don’t get the vibe he’s done yet

Replace him with Drew Bledsoe, that would be hilarious.

Josh McDaniels is available

What happened to that so-called extension from like 3 weeks ago....

He’ll be coaching the chargers next season.

Bill Belichik’s nepotistic hires are dug into Gillette Stadium like ticks. Three-decker men at best. Who is going to be left on staff if you let go of Bill mid-season. You have to clean house entirely to get rid of Belichik.

If this happens someone will pick him up immediately

Unless Bill is killed in Germany I don't see this happening. Hell id be shocked if they didn't let him go until he surpassed Shula as a thank you for all he's done.

Why is this picking up steam? They just extended him. Unless they want to pull a Raiders and pay him to be fired?

I’m sorry, but if the Patriots fire him mid season that would be disgraceful. I get they have to do what’s best for the team, but I think Belichick has done more than enough to have earned the right to go out gracefully. Who would even take over mid season? BoB???

Do Pats fans genuinely want to see him fired?! That seems aggressively short sighted to me.

Who are you gonna get that’s better?!

Assume he’d retire but I feel like 50% of the teams in the league would be ecstatic to have BB.

Best defensive game planner to ever do it. And he’s like a head coach and gm in one.

all good things come to an end whether fired,retirement, terms cannot be agreed upon nothing last forever so idk why yall trippin over this .

And the new coach of the 2024 New England Patriots

Josh McDaniels ft: Matt Patricia!

I think what is more likely is an off season "retirement"

No way would Bill deserve to get fired mid season regardless of the Pats record

Come join us Darth Billy you can be our other great coach that has the first name of Bill.

Unless a medical emergency, it’s not happening

This genuinely would tilt me to space. BB is the only coach I've ever known in football and he's been amazing for the Pats. He's one half of the greatest athlete/coach combo of all time. He gave the club 6 fucking superbowls.

If you want to move on from him, fine, but let him finish the season or move on his terms. He's earned that.

This genuinely would make me question my support for the pats.

Am i the only one here who thinks Bill just looks checked out? I get he's an all time great and everything, but if he just doesn't care anymore you have to move on.

Firing Belichick mid-season would be one of the all-time most disrespectful things any front office has ever done to a coach. I don't even like him, and I despise the Patriots, but them firing him, at all for any reason, would piss me off.

No, that's a guy that you first politely ask what his plans for the future are in the offseason, gauge whether he was thinking about moving on himself, and if he's not, then go through the process of saying you're moving on without him, in the most respectful way possible.

After what this dude has done for that team and that organization.

If that actually happened, just fucking wow.

​

Although someone mentioned his attitude with players and that would be pretty ironic and a bit hilarious.

Not a good look to fire a SB winning coach during the season ...oh wait nm

That’s not going to happen… if anything they’ll let him finish out this year, and then announce his own resignation.

Bill will cement his legacy as a defensive genius that lucked into finding the GOAT quarterback. Without Brady, Bill's head coaching career amounted to exactly squat in a dozen or so seasons.

Zero chance. I'd love it, but the fan base would riot if he didn't get to go out on his own.

maybe he's decided he's ready to walk away or there's a health issue.

he's not getting canned mid season

Yea, not a chance.

I thought he just got a new contract?

If he gets fired midseason, he’d be hired as a head coach somewhere else by the end of that week

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard

Taking the "BYE" week a little too literally

I am sure if he hires a young Asian female who gives happy endings as a trainer, kraft will let him slide

Surely you give Bill the full year? The bell is definitely rolling but the man coached your team for a quarter of a decade and won 6 rings. If he doesn’t get to finish a season who does?

No chance.

Bill will still have his job next year.

Bill to the Raiders?

I’m a Ravens fan and this disgusts me.

Even if the patriots fire him he won’t be unemployed for long as long as he wants to coach he will have a job in this league I think

It would be insane if they fire him mid season, after all the success he has had and what he has done for the franchise. No way in hell it happens

Didn't he just get a contract extension? No way he gets fired midway through the season.

Did you want the next Hitler? He’s gonna spread the Patriot Way worldwide.

Just in time for harbaugh, he's got the cheating down already, now he just has to work on his scowl.

I hate Bill Belichick so much. But he is undeniably a top 3 coach of all time and imo the best, it hasn’t been good lately but firing him mid season would be one of the most disgraceful and disrespectful moves of all time lmao.

That wouldn't be a happy ending. Weird, Kraft usually is a fan of those.
