2024 NFL odds: Where will Bill Belichick land next season?
To coach or not to coach, appears to be the question.
Bill Belichick has served as head coach of the New England Patriots since the year 2000, winning six Super Bowls during his tenure.
However, the Pats have put together just one winning season in the four seasons since Tom Brady left the franchise, including a 4-13 campaign this season — and with that, it appears Belichick could be on his way out.
Where to? Well, that’s the question on the minds of … everyone.

After the Patriots’ Week 18 loss to the Jets, FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer said that the 71-year-old Belichick most likely coached his last game in New England.
“I don’t think Bill comes back there,” Glazer said. “But now, it’s just a matter of do they decide to move apart over the next couple of days, or do they hold on and try to trade him? If they try to trade him, that would take a little bit longer. Either way, I think his tenure in New England is over.”
Belichick has the shortest odds to take over the Chargers, which appears to be the most coveted job on the market, considering they have a 25-year-old quarterback who was a Pro Bowler in 2021 in Justin Herbert.
However, during his season-ending news conference on Monday, Belichick did appear willing to concede some of his responsibilities — including personnel duties — if it meant returning to New England.
“I’m for whatever collectively we decide as an organization is the best thing to help our football team,” Belichick said during the video conference. “I’m under contract. I’m going to do what I always do, which is every day I come in, work as hard as I can to help the team in whatever way I can. So that’s what I’m going to continue to do.”
