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

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.
Regardless of the teams recent performance, this would be an absolutely disgraceful move. Bill helped win us 6 god damn super bowls.
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?
I hope he gets fired, so he is available to star as the new villain in the next Cobra Kai season.
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.
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
Not a good look to fire a SB winning coach during the season ...oh wait nm
Yea, not a chance.
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?
There would be something poetic about the Colts retiring Belichick.
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.
Belichick getting fired mid season would be something most people would never ever see coming
That’s not going to happen… if anything they’ll let him finish out this year, and then announce his own resignation.
technically they COULD replace him before the Germany game too, but they aren't doing either this season.
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.
Josh mcdaniels needs a job
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.
What happened to that so-called extension from like 3 weeks ago....
With Josh McDaniels
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.
If this happens someone will pick him up immediately
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 .
No way would Bill deserve to get fired mid season regardless of the Pats record
Go home NESN.Com. You’re drunk.
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.
No way in hell they replace Belichick
(X) Doubt
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.
If he gets fired mid-season, that would be so disrespectful. It has to be after the season.
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.
Lol.
There is absolutely no way in hell Belichick gets fired mid season. That would be a disgrace.
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
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.
He’ll be coaching the chargers next season.
Replace him with Drew Bledsoe, that would be hilarious.
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.
Josh McDaniels is available
I could bang Hugh Jackman but it’s probably not happening
What if they leave him in Germany and make him find his own way home?
X doubt
O hai test balloon.
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.
I’ll take click bait never gonna happen articles for 500 please
They'd at least fly him back, right?
