New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could very well be coaching his last season with New England if they miss the playoffs for the third time in four years. Owner Robert Kraft has become impatient since losing quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots haven’t won a playoff game in about five seasons.
Is Bill Belichick Potentially on the Hot Seat in 2023?
The Patriots were 8-9 last season and fell to the Buffalo Bills on the final day of the regular season. Buffalo, the New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins seem to be miles better than New England this season. Some people think that Mac Jones is the fourth-best quarterback in the AFC East, putting Bill Belichick at a disadvantage already.
A lot of people will say that Tom Brady won the divorce and that Brady made Bill Belichick good all of those years. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl Title without him with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Bill hasn’t had much success without him. Bill Belichick is trying to prove his doubters wrong.
Assuming they do miss the playoffs, it is possible that Robert Kraft doesn’t bring back Bill Belichick. If it is any other coach in the NFL, the odds are they will get fired if they miss the playoffs three out of four seasons.
Another issue with this roster is that the NFL is now an offensive league. The Jets have Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson. The Bills have Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs, and the Dolphins have Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, which is one of the best-receiving tandems in the NFL.
The Patriots have Mac Jones and Devante Parker? Please. Defensive coordinators will not lose sleep over the New England offense.
Yes, they do have Bill O’Brien as offensive coordinator, but Bill Belichick made a huge mistake by having Joe Judge and Matt Patricia run the offense a season ago. This is what got quarterback Mac Jones frustrated with the coaching staff and who can blame him?
It seems as if the game of football has passed by New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and the next guy in line to be a head coach that owner Robert Kraft may want is Jerod Mayo.
