Patriots have reportedly already decided to move on from Bill Belichick in 2024 [View all]

Bill Belichick’s time with the New England Patriots is apparently coming to an end regardless of how the rest of the season plays out. The Patriots, according to NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran, have already decided to move on from the longtime coach after the end of the season.

That decision was apparently made after the Patriots fell to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany on Nov. 12.

“When they came out of Germany, conversations I had that week made it very clear that a decision was made,” Curran said Monday. “And they were going to play out the string, and at the end of the year there would be a parting of the ways, for a variety of reasons … You don’t fire Bill Belichick during the season. It’s just not going to happen.”

Belichick long ago solidified himself as one of the best head coaches in NFL history. He was first hired as head coach in New England in 2000 following a five-year head coaching stint in Cleveland and assistant jobs with both the Patriots and Jets, and he quickly turned the Patriots into one of the best dynasties the sport has ever seen. Alongside quarterback Tom Brady, Belichick led the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins and mounted an incredible 17-season run with double-digit victories. The team has missed the playoffs just five times under his watch, and made it to nine Super Bowls.
