COMMENTARY
FOXBOROUGH — The season is over, and the stage has been set. Robert Kraft has a franchise-altering decision to make.
He has to decide if Bill Belichick will return as Patriots head coach next year.
Belichick confirmed to reporters Sunday that he will have a meeting with Kraft now that the season is finished. ESPN reported that meeting will be Monday, and could prove pivotal in deciding Belichick’s fate.
Which factor will weigh heavier on Kraft’s mind while he ponders Belichick’s future? Loyalty based on past achievements, or Belichick’s track record over the last four seasons?
