FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick, the NFL's longest-tenured coach who turns 71 in April, said Monday that he plans to return for his 24th season as New England Patriots coach in 2023.
The Patriots had their season end Sunday in a 35-23 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
After declaring that he intends to return, Belichick said of the Patriots' 8-9 season: "Nobody's satisfied with that. That's not our goal. We need to improve on that. So that's all of us -- accountability everywhere, starting with me, the coaching staff, players, each unit.
