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

[–] Steakbomb90@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If Belichick gets fired, there will be a mad dash to hire him on another team. Coach's that didn't even have a bad year will get fired just for the chance at Belichick.

[–] Alexm2018@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Regardless of the teams recent performance, this would be an absolutely disgraceful move. Bill helped win us 6 god damn super bowls.

[–] mk72206@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And he set this roster up to abysmal for a decade. You don’t get to take the good without the bad.

Didn’t he get an extension like two weeks ago?

[–] PenFlinger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hope he gets fired, so he is available to star as the new villain in the next Cobra Kai season.

[–] LurkyOtoul@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The only right way to fire BB is a golden handshake during the off season. If they fire him mid season I’m no longer a fan.

[–] My-Cousin-Bobby@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There is 0 way it happens, but it would be so poetic that a Colts win gets the Pats to fire their HC, just over a year after the Patriots win got the Coltds to fire their HC

[–] salmon1a@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Dorkamundo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yea, not a chance.

[–] callmecyke@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] AshKetchupo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There would be something poetic about the Colts retiring Belichick.

[–] MrThunderkat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] HesiPull-UpBrando@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Belichick getting fired mid season would be something most people would never ever see coming

[–] taffyowner@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] jnightrain@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

technically they COULD replace him before the Germany game too, but they aren't doing either this season.

[–] benevenstancian0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, woudn’t you want to beat the rush of teams looking to bring on Bill O’Brien or Joe Judge in the off-season? Better lock one of them up as interim ASAP.

[–] Buddhahead11b@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Josh mcdaniels needs a job

[–] minimumhatred@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Belichick just signed a multiyear deal in the offseason and nobody expected the Patriots to be that good this year either. I don't think he gets fired this year.

[–] MRlll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] minero-de-sal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

With Josh McDaniels

[–] somersquatch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just beat writers trying to stir the pot. There is a 0% chance the Patriots fire Bill midseason after what he's done for the franchise. 0%, and I'll wager anything on that too.

[–] Jedibug@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If this happens someone will pick him up immediately

[–] Sox857@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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 .

[–] cbq88@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] reamkore@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Go home NESN.Com. You’re drunk.

[–] Inamanlyfashion@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The only reason I give this any attention is Reiss is mentioning it, but I still don't buy it. Even if Kraft wants to move on from Bill, mid-season is going too far.

[–] GoldenDude@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No way in hell they replace Belichick

[–] DeM0nFiRe@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Tschmelz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, if Kraft really is idiotic enough to get rid of Bill (not to mention mid season), Pats really do deserve to be the new Lions for the next 60 years.

[–] ThisIsTrace@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If he gets fired mid-season, that would be so disrespectful. It has to be after the season.

[–] Raticus9@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, that's it after 24 years? So long, good luck?

Do it you fucking cowards.

I'm old. I remember the pre Belichick/Brady Pat's. Go back to that. McAfee says It's good for the brand.

[–] njdeatheater@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] TheLionest@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There is absolutely no way in hell Belichick gets fired mid season. That would be a disgrace.

[–] beegeepee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If he gets fired mid season it would be the most shameful firing in sports history.... assuming he doesn't do something illegal or extremely egregious like taking off his shirt in the middle of the game and throwing it into the stands MBC style

He immediately becomes the most sought after head coach on the carousel this off-season surely

[–] Adventurous_Caramel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If there’s one thing to be certain of with all this Patriots drama, it’s that their eventual Secret Base Collapse video is gonna be hot fire.

[–] Kablarnage@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’ll be coaching the chargers next season.

[–] Early-Retirement-22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Replace him with Drew Bledsoe, that would be hilarious.

[–] whistlepig4life@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. The odds are better of winning powerball than BB being fired in season. I wouldn’t take odds of him being fired if he went 1-16 for the season.

[–] AnxiousEzrael@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Josh McDaniels is available

[–] OneAngryPanda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I could bang Hugh Jackman but it’s probably not happening

[–] ItIsYourPersonality@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What if they leave him in Germany and make him find his own way home?

[–] dawgz525@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] thatattyguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

O hai test balloon.

[–] gord1to@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the Patriots fire Bill mid season Kraft should have his team taken from him. The disrespect for a guy that won you 6 rings. Have some fuckin respect and tell Bill to resign after the season. Embarrassing shit.

Added: for the dumbass that deleted his comment they did not trade Brady in the middle of the season. They let him go to a loaded team in the off season instead of signing him to our shit team so Tom could carry a garbage roster for another year. Trying to compare them is dumb as hell.

[–] Irrationate@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ll take click bait never gonna happen articles for 500 please

[–] ContinuumGuy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They'd at least fly him back, right?
