10 coaching candidates for Patriots, if Bill Belichick gets fired

Here are 10 head coaching candidates that could replace Bill Belichick, if he gets fired by the team.

A new potential twist to the New England Patriots’ Week 10 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts has everyone with an opinion screaming it from the top of their lungs.

The Boston Globe’s Ben Volin recently reported that it wasn’t out of the question that Patriots coach Bill Belichick could be fired if the team loses to the Colts in Sunday’s trip to Germany. So it might really be a win-or-go-home situation for the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach.

It’s hard to envision the team ousting arguably the greatest coach of all time without a proper sendoff at the midway point in the season. But it does feel like Belichick could be on borrowed time in New England.

Whether it’s after the Colts game or at the end of the season, the Patriots could be merely days or months away from making a franchise-altering decision.

When and if the hammer falls, these are the 10 coaching candidates that could potentially take Belichick’s place.
