As the 3–11 Patriots suffer through their worst season under Bill Belichick, rumors are swirling about the 71-year-old coach’s future with the team.
Fans and pundits wonder whether Belichick, who sits 27 regular-season wins behind all-time leader Don Shula, will get a chance to break the record with New England. Indeed, a recent report from NBC Sports Boston insider Tom Curran stated that the team already has decided to move on from Belichick after the season. Belichick was asked about the report last week but deflected the question.
But the storyline isn’t going away, especially in light of the Patriots’ 27–17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, and he was asked again about his future with New England during his weekly appearance on Boston’s WEEI-FM on Monday morning.
