Bill Belichick’s time as coach and general manager of the New England Patriots isn’t guaranteed beyond the 2023 season, and it sets the stage for one of the biggest storylines in the NFL.
Could the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach be on the outs in New England after a 23-year run with the team?
It’s weird to say it out loud considering everything Belichick has meant to the Patriots franchise. He’s the brains behind drafting the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady, and creating a dynasty that will stand the test of time as the standard for all professional sports.
But nothing lasts forever in this world. The Patriots have fallen to the bottom of the league due to shockingly bad personnel decisions that have left many pointing a finger directly at the top. Robert Kraft will have to make one of the hardest decisions he’s ever had to make as the Patriots’ owner. Is it time for him to move on from Belichick?
There are at least three clues that hint that’s the direction the Patriots could be going at the end of the season.
