Is This Belichick's Last Season as Patriots Head Coach?
Transcript
00:00 Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have struggled in the absence of Tom Brady.
00:06 It's well known.
00:07 But the first year of Matt Jones, they did go to the playoffs.
00:11 And everything has been downhill since, none worse than this year.
00:14 A 2-7 football team that, based on live pricing, is set to go 2-8.
00:18 I feel pretty confident at this point, Joe, that Bill Belichick is coaching his final
00:23 season in New England.
00:25 I don't know if it's his final game, but I think when this year is done, Bill is out
00:29 of New England, which then leads this big question of, will he go and coach somewhere
00:33 else in the National Football League?
00:35 Well, he's been mentioned and rumored, potentially, with Washington, should they move on from
00:40 Ron Rivera, going back to the NSC East with his days in terms of the New York Giants.
00:45 I can tell you, in terms of Bill Belichick and what this team looks like, after getting
00:49 to the playoffs and losing to Buffalo in the wildcard round a couple of years ago, they
00:54 lost their identity.
00:55 Personnel changes as well.
00:57 Think about what he did in terms of the offense inside of the ball.
01:00 Matt Patricia, Joe Judge, coaching the offense a couple years ago.
01:04 This year, it's Bill O'Brien, no offensive playmakers on the perimeter.
01:08 Kendrick Bourne, Demario Douglas, in terms of that.
01:11 But outside of that, no speed on the perimeter.
01:13 And that's a reason right now, Donnie, why New England has struggled in terms of putting
01:18 up points.
01:19 Just no blue-collar work ethic as well.
01:22 Completely undisciplined this year.
01:24 When it all comes down to it, is Bill Belichick the head coach is going to get fired by Bill
01:28 Belichick, the general manager?
01:30 There's just not enough weapons out there.
01:31 They're injured now on both sides of the football.
01:33 It's not working out.
01:34 Let me ask you this question too, which obviously we're in a delay here before we get to the
01:37 second quarter.
01:39 Firing Bill Belichick after this game and a lose does what though?
01:41 What does it do?
