The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> mutually parted ways with Bill Belichick and hired Jerod Mayo as their new head coach. After the departure of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, nothing was the same for the franchise. 



Even with six Super Bowls won, Robert Kraft had enough of the legend following a 4-13 record and no answers at the quarterback position. Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe failed and, though he never went public about it, the Patriots’ owner never forgave Belichick for picking Jimmy Garoppolo over Brady. 



Now, in a shocking turn of events, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> won’t have a job in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> next year and Tom Brady spoke about the massive challenge for the Patriots with a young coach like Mayo.



“Jerod was a great leader, a great captain and a great friend. I think it’s great for the NFL and certainly great for the Patriots. He’s got a great understanding of how things need to be done. Jerod does an incredible job relating to everybody in the locker room. He’ll do a great job.”

<h2>Why did Tom Brady leave the New England Patriots?</h2>



Tom Brady also spoke about his relationship with Bill Belichick and if all the rumors about the head coach showing him the ‘exit door’ were true or just taken out of context by the media. It all happened during an interview in The Pat McAfee Show.


 

 


“Toward the later part of my career, I really think there were so much people just trying to create some division. Most of it was untrue. It’s just the way the world works. Division from within is a big problem in this team environments. I don’t like to see any disfunction in team environments. I want everyone seeing things through one set of eyes.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231217#BUS#92827"></div>


After winning six Super Bowls together, Brady has the outmost respect for Belichick as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history. That’s why the former quarterback admitted there are no hard feelings.



“Obviously, my respect for coach Belichick is pretty well documented. He was an incredible leader and coach for our team. I tried to do my best very single day that I took the field. I knew that he did the same thing. That’s why I respected his coaching so much.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> has done it again. For the fourth time in only five years, the Texas Tech product is heading to another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, and football fans are seriously starting to consider he might be the GOAT. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, however, explained why his own legacy is not in jeopardy.



“I think that there’s nothing that Patrick can do, in my opinion, that takes away from what I tried to accomplish in my career,” Brady said in an appearance on the ‘Pat McAfee Show’ on Tuesday. “And there’s nothing that I did that can take away from what he’s trying to accomplish. All I tried to be was the best I can be.“



A seven-time Super Bowl champion, Brady is widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time. Not only does he boast more rings than any other player, but the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> star also set all-time records for passing yards (89,214), touchdowns (649), and completions (7,753).



Even so, Brady believes that nothing he accomplished takes away from what the likes of Steve Young and Joe Montana, whom he looked up to during his childhood, have achieved. To back up his argument, Brady also mentioned Dan Marino and John Elway, as his point is that no player will ever overshadow what other legends have done in the past.

“They had incredible careers and they put as much as they could into their career and I really respect that. And I just try to do the same thing,” Brady said.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240127#BUS#100630"></div>


<h2>Brady says he would have no problem with Mahomes tying his Super Bowl wins</h2>



Mahomes is on the brink of another Super Bowl success, when he already has two rings under his belt. Since he’s still 28, it looks like the Chiefs star has enough time to try and get close to Brady’s record of championships.







“Believe me, if anyone can go out there and win seven Super Bowls, I have so much respect for them. I understand how difficult it is. I’m going to congratulate them and give whoever it is a big hug,” Brady said.



Needless to say, both Brady’s records and his legacy remain safe for now. But while it’s still too soon to put Mahomes on the same tier as the 7x Super Bowl champ, it’s fair to believe that the Kansas City quarterback will get there at some point. Brady, however, has nothing but praise for him.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100856"></div>


“I texted my friend who plays with Pat after the game, and I just said ‘tell him congrats, and it’s awesome to watch him play and I love watching him lead his team,” Brady said.



Brady got to play against Mahomes before stepping away from the gridiron, getting the upper hand both times they faced off in the postseason. While his first win came in the 2019 AFC Championship Game, the second was a hard-fought victory in Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers.

<h2>Patrick Mahomes admits the Chiefs are still way behind Tom Brady and the Patriots</h2>



During his first six years a starter in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes has never missed an AFC Championship Game. Furthermore, he is just one win away of a fourth Super Bowl appearance.


 

 


Mahomes is only 28-years old and, if he keeps this pace, all the records of Tom Brady are definitely in danger. Of course, the most difficult one is to get seven Lombardi trophies.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231208#BUS#90628"></div>


“We’ve still got a long way to go. They did it for 20 years (Patriots). All we can do is take it year in, year out, week in, week out and every single day. That’s the long goal, to win that many championships and bring those titles to this organization, but all we can do is focus on the Ravens this week and that’s what we’re trying to do.”

Bill Belichick won’t have a team in the 2024 season. After announcing his departure from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a>, the legendary head coach has been left without offers. Undoubtedly, nothing has been the same since he showed the exit door to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>.



The Atlanta Falcons had two interviews with him, but, in the end, owner Arthur Blank chose Raheem Morris to lead their rebuilding process after his great job as defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.



As a consequence, the big question in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> is if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> will have a team in 2024. Right now, it is fair to say that the odds are really slim considering the latest decisions by many franchises.



It’s important to remember that Belichick is 71-years and is chasing Don Shula for most wins by a head coach in NFL history. That record, and hoisting a Vince Lombardi trophy without Brady, will end the debate about the greatest of all time.

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



Right now, the Washington Commanders are the only team without a head coach in the NFL. The other vacancy left was filled on Wednesday when the Seattle Seahawks confirmed the arrival of Mike Macdonald, who was sensational as defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens.


 

 


The big problem for Belichick is that the Commanders have already confirmed they won’t pursue the legend. As a consequence, unless the Chiefs or the 49ers shock the NFL after the Super Bowl, there are no more spots available.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231217#BUS#92827"></div>


These were the franchises which announced new head coaches: Jerod Mayo (New England Patriots), Dave Canales (Carolina Panthers), Raheem Morris (Atlanta Falcons), Brian Callahan (Tennessee Titans), Mike Macdonald (Seattle Seahawks) and Jim Harbaugh (Los Angeles Chargers).



Furthermore, three teams confirmed major decisions about their current situation. Mike McCarthy will stay with the Dallas Cowboys, the Pittsburgh Steelers will extend Mike Tomlin’s contract and Antonio Pierce is no longer interim as he’ll take over the Raiders’ job permanently.

Bill Belichick won’t be a head coach in the NFL next season

After his departure from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a>, everything pointed out to Bill Belichick becoming the new coach of the Atlanta Falcons. The two challenges were very clear: surpass Don Shula’s win record and finally conquer a Super Bowl without <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>.



In the last few weeks, the legend had two interviews with the Falcons, and no other team scheduled talks with him. When Jim Harbaugh signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, it seemed that Atlanta would lean towards Belichick.



However, the Atlanta Falcons have surprised the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> by ruling out <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a>. Now, Raheem Morris, former defensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams, will be the new head coach of the team.



“I am overjoyed for the opportunity for my family and I to return to Atlanta as the Falcons head coach. We know from firsthand experience what a first-class organization Atlanta is and what this team means to its city and its fans. I am incredibly appreciative of Arthur Blank for his leadership and for this entire organization for putting its trust in me to help lead this team.”

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



Unless a last-minute surprise occurs, Bill Belichick won’t have a team for the 2024 season. The only team without a coach are the Washington Commanders after the Seattle Seahawks announced the arrival of Mike Macdonald.


 

 


A few days ago, several reports confirmed that the Commanders are not interested in Belichick. That will leave the legendary coach with no options for the 2024 season. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240120#BUS#99176"></div>


Believe it or not, one of the most successful coaches in NFL history will be without a team. Bill Belichick is off to a sabbatical year waiting for another opportunity to arise in 2025.

After a huge 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> proved once again why he is the natural heir of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>. They’re just two victories away of conquering a third Super Bowl in five years. 



Even with all the pressure of his first playoff game on the road, Mahomes delivered another epic performance against Josh Allen. It was an almost flawless effort of 215 passing yards and two touchdowns at Highmark Stadium.



That day, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> have put the entire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> on alert. Then, they eliminated Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. This version led by head coach Andy Reid looks like the old glory days.



In the process, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce passed Brady and Rob Gronkowski for most postseason touchdowns (16) by a quarterback-wide receiver duo in NFL history. An amazing feat.

<h2>Tom Brady reacts to Patrick Mahomes breaking one of his greatest NFL records</h2>



Though Tom Brady knows Patrick Mahomes is chasing all of his records, the former legend of the New England Patriots has no hard feelings about the situation. On the contrary, he is astonished by Mahomes’ talent.


 

 


After the Chiefs’ duo broke the record of postseason touchdowns, Brady had an incredible reaction on X. “BEASTS. When you one up gronk you’re doing something right.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240118#BUS#98724"></div>


Patrick Mahomes is only 28-years old and is currently on pace to dominate almost every category in NFL history. However, the most important one will be the toughest to chase.



Right now, Mahomes is way behind Tom Brady with two Super Bowl wins. Brady’s number is just unbelievable with seven rings. Furthermore, both times they faced each other in the playoffs, Tom left the field victorious. That’s irreversible.

Kirk Cousins is a free agent after his contract expired with the Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, Bill Belichick and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> just mutually parted ways. After the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, the legendary head coach never found his franchise quarterback, but, that could change soon.



In 2023, Cousins was a clear MVP candidate until an Achilles injury derailed his hopes in Week 8. The Vikings were Super Bowl contenders with Kirk leading an explosive offense which included Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.



Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> seems to be close of making a final decision and that move will totally change the landscape in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. If he signs with the Atlanta Falcons, Cousins admitted during an interview with CBS Sports there’s no hesitation about what’s coming next. 



“I’m not gonna turn down an opportunity to play with a future Hall of Fame coach, but, we’ll have to see where March leads. It’s just a lot of unknowns right now. I have great respect for him as a coach. If you go to that many Super Bowls, win that many Super Bowls, go to that many conference championship games, it says it all.”

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



A few days ago, the Atlanta Falcons had a second interview with Bill Belichick. They seem to have a clear advantage as the head coach has not spoken to any other team. That splash by owner Arthur Blank followed with Kirk Cousins would be massive. The quarterback seems thrilled about the legend.


 

 


“You always know when you play him that you’re kind of looking over your shoulder wondering if what you’re seeing is correct. Because you know he usually is going to break the mold and do something different. That’s part of what has made him a great coach.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231217#BUS#92827"></div>


The Falcons are likely the spot for Belichick as other big franchises already made their choice. The Dallas Cowboys confirmed&nbsp;Mike McCarthy&nbsp;is returning and the Pittsburgh Steelers will also keep Mike Tomlin. 



The only surprise could emerge if the Falcons decide to go in another direction: Jim Harbaugh. He already had two interviews with Atlanta after winning the national championship for Michigan.

Bill Belichick confirms if he&#039;ll retire from the NFL after leaving Patriots

Bill Belichick cannot find a new NFL team, but a star QB is ready to play for him - Bolavip US

After flirting with retirement before changing his mind just before training camp in 2022, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> decided to hang up his cleats for good in 2023. However, it looks like a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contender was prepared to give him the starting job if he decided to come back.



According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> were willing to bench Brock Purdy if Brady wanted to play in the Bay area this season. In fact, it seems that Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan let Purdy know that:



“Early in the offseason, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan sat down with Purdy and assured him that if he was healthy he would be the starter unless Brady wanted to play one more season for his hometown Niners. An ecstatic Purdy understood the logic, but the competitor in him also bubbled under the surface.



‘That meant so much to me,’ Purdy said. ‘I remember him saying, if we can get Tom Brady, we’re going to try to get him. And I was like, ‘Yeah, he’s the GOAT. I get it.’ But something deep down inside me was sort of like, ‘Dude, I just showed you that I can play well in this system. And we were one game away from the Super Bowl.’ … More than anything, I was like, ‘OK, now let’s go.&apos;”

Brady has been linked with his hometown team for a long time, especially when he left the New England Patriots in 2020. However, the Niners initially stuck to Jimmy Garoppolo and Brady went to Tampa Bay, where he led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in his first season since leaving Foxborough. Now, San Francisco seems to have found its guy in Purdy.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240103#BUS#95672"></div>


<h2>Like Tom Brady, Brock Purdy became a starting QB against all odds</h2>



Purdy and Brady have one thing in common, which is knowing what is like to be overlooked. While the seven-time Super Bowl champ was selected 199th overall by the Patriots in 2000, the Iowa State product was the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.



While that selection made Purdy that year’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” he turned out to be quite relevant for San Francisco. The Niners started last season with Trey Lance being promoted to QB1, with Garoppolo demoted to the bench.



However, injuries to both signal-callers during the regular season forced the team to lean on its third-string quarterback, who took everyone by surprise. Purdy’s strong play saw the 49ers make all the way to the NFC Championship Game, where he unfortunately had to be replaced due to an elbow injury.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240110#BUS#96959"></div>


The Niners missed Purdy that day, realizing how important the rookie QB was for the team. That’s why they gave up on Lance in the offseason, and the only way the 49ers would have started another quarterback was if his name was Tom Brady.



This season, San Francisco clinched the first seed in the NFC with Purdy under center. Now it hopes the second-year QB can go the distance and win the championship.

The Super Bowl contender that was willing to bench its QB only for Tom Brady

Tom Brady almost benched the starting QB of a Super Bowl contender in 2023 - Bolavip US

NFL Rumors: Super Bowl contender was ready to bench its QB for Tom Brady

Bill Belichick&nbsp;mutually parted ways with the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>&nbsp;and the head coach is already searching for a new team. As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> did with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it’s time to prove he can also win somewhere else. 



Belichick had his worst season after a 4-13 record. Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe were never the answer at the quarterback position and, considering his functions as general manager, Robert Kraft had enough of the situation. 



Now, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a>&nbsp;might be really close to shock the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>&nbsp;with one of the biggest decisions of his career. According to a report from Ian Rapoport, the legend will have a second interview this weekend with the Atlanta Falcons.



“Former Patriots coach Bill Belichick will have a second interview with the Falcons brass this weekend after meeting with owner Arthur Blank 1-on-1 this past week. Things are ramping up with the greatest coach of all time. CEO Rich McKay and GM Terry Fontenot are among those who will be with Arthur Blank for the meeting with the goat.”

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



Right now, the Atlanta Falcons seem to be the first option for Bill Belichick as no other team confirmed any interview so far with the head coach. Furthermore, many big options have already made their choice.


 

 


For example, the Dallas Cowboys confirmed Mike McCarthy is coming back. That was an intriguing spot for Belichick considering the roster talent and his friendship with Jerry Jones. 



Though Bill Belichick is the front-runner with Atlanta, the Falcons have already interviewed another top name in the market such as Jim Harbaugh. He just won the national championship with Michigan in college football and was really close of a victory in the Super Bowl with the 49ers.

Bill Belichick could sign with unexpected NFC team

Bill Belichick could sign with unexpected NFC team - Bolavip US

When <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> announced his retirement for good in 2023, the outlook was not encouraging for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>. But <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield">Baker Mayfield</a> made such an immediate impact that everyone seems to forget about that.



“It’s always fun to be counted out,” said Mayfield, via the league’s website. “Obviously, I’m pretty comfortable in it, but our team has completely embraced that. There’s something about whether it’s you’re an underdog or a road game, just having your backs against the wall and knowing it’s just your team versus everybody else when you’re counted out, and it’s always fun to be in that role.”



After years of struggling to establish himself as a starting quarterback in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, Mayfield made sure to prove his doubters wrong this season. Now, he’s the face of a Buccaneers team that has just pulled off an upset against the Eagles and hopes to go even further in the playoffs.



<h2>Bucs and Mayfield make a great match</h2>



With Brady leaving Tampa Bay after three wonderful years, the Bucs didn’t have many options. While their cap space wasn’t big enough to afford an expensive contract, they also lacked trade assets to land a big-name quarterback.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240117_BUS_98385_Buccaneers-1024x576_59f80ca0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mayfield in action for the Bucs" class="wp-image-75919" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093637/Buccaneers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093637/Buccaneers-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093637/Buccaneers-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093637/Buccaneers-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093637/Buccaneers.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Mayfield in action for the Bucs</figcaption></figure>



In that context, Mayfield meant an interesting opportunity. A free agent following a short stint with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, the 2018 first-overall pick had bounced around the league without much success. However, he was still young enough for the Bucs to believe in his ability to get back to his best.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240116#BUS#98310"></div>


At 27, he was younger than other signal-callers with experience who were also in the open market. His salary wasn’t going to be a problem either, so the Bucs ultimately decided to give it a try. Now it’s safe to say they made the right decision.



Mayfield got off to a fantastic start in Tampa Bay, posting career-high numbers in passing yards (4,044), touchdowns (28), and completion percentage (64.3) for a 65.5 QBR (also the highest in his career).



His strong play saw the Bucs win the NFC South to secure home-field advantage for the Wild Card round, where they upset the Eagles. Mayfield now has another challenge upfront with his team playing the Lions in Detroit, but regardless of the outcome, he’s already exceeded expectations in the Bucs’ first year without Brady.

Baker Mayfield takes shot at doubters after strong start with Bucs as Brady's replacement

NFL News: Baker Mayfield reacts to success with Bucs replacing Tom Brady

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> made a big decision by retiring for good in 2023, but he left knowing many of records will be safe for a while — especially his seven <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> rings. However, he could already lose a particular record in Wild Card weekend of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> playoffs.



The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller is tied with Joe Flacco for the most road playoff wins with seven. So if Flacco leads the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Browns</a> to victory against the Texans on Saturday, he would leave Brady in second place.



“Anytime you get to be in the playoffs and win football games, there’s some part of you that takes pride in that, no matter where it is,” Flacco told reporters, via CBS Sports. “This is what we go to work for every day, is to be in this position, and to play these types of games. I think we should all hold our head high.”



<h2>Flacco’s last playoff game was against Brady</h2>



It has been quite a ride for Flacco between his last playoff appearance and his upcoming game for Cleveland. Curiously, the last time he started in a postseason game came in the 2014 season, when his Ravens lost to Brady’s Patriots 35-31 in the divisional round.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240112_BUS_97563_joeflaccobrowns-1024x576_1c6f516e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns." class="wp-image-91177" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085313/joeflaccobrowns-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085313/joeflaccobrowns-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085313/joeflaccobrowns-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085313/joeflaccobrowns-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085313/joeflaccobrowns.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Flacco playing for the Cleveland Browns.</figcaption></figure>



From then on, things were challenging for the 2013 Super Bowl MVP. After being benched in 2018, Baltimore sent Flacco to Denver, where he spent the 2019 season before playing for the Jets between 2020 and 2022.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240107#BUS#96462"></div>


His comeback in 2023 may be one of the most fascinating stories of the season. Flacco had to wait until Week 11 to find a new team, with the Browns bringing him in to fill in the vacancy left by Deshaun Watson’s injury.



Flacco has been playing with a chip on his shoulder since then, leading an inspired Cleveland team that hopes to continue with the Cinderella story in the postseason.



<h2>Flacco can break more records</h2>



Apart from the record for most road playoff victories, Flacco can break more records this weekend. Currently tied with Brett Favre at five, the 38-year-old can become the quarterback with the most wins in the Wild Card round.



On top of that, if Flacco once again throws multiple touchdown passes against Houston, he would tie Aaron Rodgers’ record of nine consecutive playoff games throwing multiple TDs.

NFL Playoffs: Tom Brady could lose a record to a former Super Bowl champion

Bill Belichick&nbsp;is officially out as head coach of the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>&nbsp;after a disastrous season with a 4-13 record. Following the retirement of&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>, nothing has been the same for the franchise and Robert Kraft is making big decisions to change that trend.



Mac Jones&nbsp;was definitely not the franchise quarterback of the future and, considering the team’s terrible performances, Belichick was singled out as the main responsible because of his crucial role as general manager. Bill didn’t want to give up his control and Kraft just had enough.



As a result,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a>&nbsp;mutually parted ways with the Patriots. Now, in a shocking and fast turn of events in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, New England have found the person to replace him. 



Although many experts expected a series of lengthy interviews to find Belichick’s successor, Robert Kraft already had the right person in mind. Less than 24 hours later, the Patriots are ready to embark on a new era.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240112_BUS_97418_billbelichick-1024x576_3b484bd0.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-96602" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083957/billbelichick-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083957/billbelichick-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083957/billbelichick-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083957/billbelichick-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083957/billbelichick.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>The Patriots announce the successor of Bill Belichick (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Who will replace Bill Belichick as head coach of the Patriots?</h2>



Jerod Mayo will be the next head coach of the New England Patriots. He was the linebackers coach under Bill Belichick and many players saw him as the ideal candidate to take over.


 

 

 


In a very important detail, Mayo is 37 years old and will become the youngest head coach in the NFL. The former linebacker played for the Patriots from 2008 until 2015. He was hired by Belichick as a coach in 2019.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240108#BUS#96599"></div>


Though the defense was extraordinary for New England during the 2023 season, the first big decision for Jerod Mayo will be at the quarterback position. They have the No.3 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and Caleb Williams could be their biggest option. However, Robert Kraft has yet to announce who will be the next general manager.

“We had a vision of building a championship football team that has exceeded my wildest dreams and expectations. I’m very proud of that. I’ll always have those great memories, will carry those with me the rest of my life.”

“This is a move that we mutually agreed that is needed at this time. It will be difficult to see him in a cutoff hoodie on the sideline, but I will always wish him continued success, except when he’s playing our beloved Patriots.”

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



That last statement from Robert Kraft, leaving the door open to facing Bill Belichick in the future, became the most discussed topic on social media after the press conference. Undoubtedly, a hint that the coach is not retiring.


 

 


In recent weeks, the Commanders seemed like a strong option for Belichick, but Washington’s front office has already ruled it out. Therefore, the Los Angeles Chargers appear to be an ideal destination with quarterback Justin Herbert. Furthermore, the Atlanta Falcons already had an interview with the coach.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240111#BUS#97189"></div>


Other teams which have vacancies at the head coach position in the NFL are the&nbsp;Tennessee Titans, the Carolina Panthers, the&nbsp;Las Vegas Raiders&nbsp;and the Seattle Seahawks.

Robert Kraft believes Bill Belichick won't retire - Bolavip US

It’s officially the end of an era in Foxborough. Four years after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> packed his bags, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots">New England Patriots</a> are parting ways with longtime coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a>, who led the franchise to six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> rings — all of them with TB12 under center.



NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter reported the news early on Thursday, before Robert Kraft and Belichick made a joint announcement in a press conference. Shortly after the confirmation, Brady took to Instagram to share some heartelt words for his former coach.



“I’m incredibly grateful to have played for the best coach in the history of the NFL,” Brady wrote. “He was a great leader for the organization, and for all of the players who played for him. We accomplished some amazing things over a long period of time, many of which will be hard to replicate. he worked every day to help us achieve the ultimate goal, in the ultimate team sport. And, although we were successful, some of the greatest lessons I learned were in the moments where we faced the most challenging adversities. 



“He set the tone for the organization to never falter in the face of adversity, and to do what we could do, and what was in our control, which was to go out and DO OUR JOB. I could never have been the player I was without you Coach Belichick. I am forever grateful. And I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose next.“

Many things have been said about Brady and Belichick since the quarterback left New England, but the truth is they’ve always shown nothing but respect for each other. After all, they were arguably the best QB-coach duo in football history.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240110#BUS#96995"></div>


<h2>Belichick struggled without Brady</h2>



Perhaps the only stain in Belichick’s unforgettable tenure in Foxborough is his lack of success in the post-Brady era. While the coach cemented a legacy with TB12 at quarterback, the team was a shell of the old Patriots after Brady’s departure.



The first year without him was obviously challenging, with the Patriots finishing third in the AFC East at 7-9 after a year of transition with Cam Newton taking the offensive reins. That same year, Brady won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first season away from New England.



Belichick made a quarterback change for 2021, removing Newton to make room for first-round pick Mac Jones. That may have been the only decent season since Brady left. The Alabama product was up to the task, helping the Patriots make the playoffs with a 10-7 record. However, the Bills outplayed them 47-17 in the Wild Card game. And eventually, the hopes that Jones would be the Patriots’ next franchise quarterback seemed to fade away.

Both Jones and the Patriots took many steps back in 2022, in which they missed out on the postseason at 8-9. After months of rumors in the same offseason Brady retired for good, Belichick ultimately kept Jones at QB1 for the 2023 season. But nothing went to plan.



<h2>Belichick could pursue a ring outside New England, like Brady did</h2>



Following a terrible start to the season, Belichick benched Jones during games. The coach definitely lost his confidence in the third-year QB in Week 13, when he named Bailey Zappe as starter. That didn’t prevent Belichick from suffering the worst season in his coaching career though, with New England finishing bottom of the AFC East at 4-13.







While widely respected for his unprecedented success, Belichick started to be seriously questioned after Brady moved, and in the end, the Patriots’ poor campaign in 2023 sealed his fate. But his coaching career is not over yet, so it will be interesting to see if he can succeed elsewhere like Brady did.

<h2>Robert Kraft ‘hints’ Bill Belichick won’t retire from coaching</h2>



Though Bill Belichick didn’t give a lot of details about his future, Robert Kraft left a big clue about what’s coming for the head coach. “I will always support Bill, except when is playing our beloved Patriots.”


 

 


If that statement is true, then it will be confirmed that Belichick wants to keep coaching to chase Don Shula’s record of most wins in the NFL. A lot of teams will be interested.

<h2>What will be the next team of Bill Belichick?</h2>



The&nbsp;Atlanta Falcons&nbsp;have emerged as one of the most interested teams in&nbsp;Bill Belichick. The big problem is their quarterback situation as&nbsp;Desmond Ridder&nbsp;was a total disappointment.



The&nbsp;Los Angeles Chargers&nbsp;are a very attractive place considering&nbsp;Justin Herbert&nbsp;could lead the franchise with the right pieces around him. However, even before the 2023 season ended, the&nbsp;Washington Commanders&nbsp;were the strongest option to replace&nbsp;Ron Rivera.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231213#BUS#91666"></div>


The other four teams which have vacancies at the head coach position in the NFL are the&nbsp;Tennessee Titans, the Carolina Panthers, the&nbsp;Las Vegas Raiders&nbsp;and Seattle.
