Bill Belichick finished his worst season as head coach of the New England Patriots with a 4-13 record. After the retirement of Tom Brady, nothing has been the same for the head coach.

Mac Jones was definitely not the franchise quarterback of the future and, considering the team’s terrible performances, Belichick has been singled out as the main responsible because of his crucial role as general manager.

As a result, Bill Belichick is officially out of the Patriots. Before that announcement, the NFL legend had already stated he has no plans to retire and, as expected, many teams will make a big push to sign him.

“I enjoy coaching. Like I said, it was a disappointing season. I covered that in the opening statement. That’s how I feel, but, no, I still like coaching the team. I like preparing the team, game planning, coaching on Sundays. But the results weren’t good and none of us are happy with those.”
