What's next for Bill Belichick? Betting odds for Patriots HC's 2024 team
It's a time of uncertainty in the NFL for the 18 teams that failed to make the playoffs. The New England Patriots face some of the most uncertainty of all, with a decision looming regarding head coach Bill Belichick's future.
For decades, Belichick's name and the Patriots' brand have been inextricable. He's the longest-tenured active head coach in the NFL, having held the same position as head coach/general manager in New England since 2000. In that time, the Patriots have a 266-121 regular season record (.687 win percentage), a 30-12 playoff record (.714) and six Super Bowl wins.
In the post-Tom Brady era, wins have been harder to come by. The Patriots are 29-38 with one playoff berth and zero postseason wins over the last four seasons. In 2023, they finished 4-13 and hold the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Now, New England has a massive decision to make about its future. Will the team really part with the 71-year-old head coach who is still under contract and has led it for all but one game in the 21st century?
Here's what the odds say about Belichick's future.
