The #Patriots are moving on and so is the greatest coach of all time.
Bill Belichick won’t be New England’s coach in 2024, per me and @TomPelissero, as his celebrated 24-year tenure, one that included 6 Super Bowl wins, is over. A new era awaits. pic.twitter.com/QRqfe2lkHh

BB won't go to Dallas. He hates the media so much, him going there would be a nightmare for him.
Falcons might work or the Chargers.

THAT guy is going to clean up one of these talented but undisciplined teams? 72-year old mumble grandpa? Do your job, pick up the damn wrappers around the facility, and hire a coaching staff of basically nothing but defensive guys and your own silverspooned offspring? That's all it takes to turn one of those teams around?
****ing bullshit. Let him coach the Chargers or the Raiders. I welcome him to the AFC West. Only thing I truly worry about is him tanking the teams so hard that they escape their current cycle of mediocrity by getting 100% gutted.
I think BB can still coach in the modern NFL if he has enough talent on O. He still has a great mind for defense and despite his age, he still is a workaholic. As far as a GM - he is terrible. [Reply]

This is exactly why I suggested Buffalo. The Falcons are a better situation if he wants all the assets to build everything his way, but the alternative plan is to go somewhere like Buffalo or the Chargers where the QB is already there and he can just build the defense and running game around him, which is something I think Belichick can still do.

It could probably work for a few years like Bill Snyders return if the team has a good QB [Reply]

"Bill had told me he couldn't play anymore," Kraft said privately afterward, "and then he goes out and wins the f---ing Super Bowl."

Belichick believed the erosion had been going on for a while, at least since Brady's last season in New England.
I don’t think bellichick has any idea how to develop a qb not named Brady. However… what if he goes to a team that already has a decent qb. Pats were bad but their defense was pretty good.
Also if schefters right that there’s a playoff team in play, while Dallas is in play… I kind of think Cleveland is too. Talk about taking care of unfinished business after the modells fucked everyone over.
