There is a “growing belief” around the NFL that Bill Belichick will not be the Patriots’ head coach next year, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.
Graziano said based on past experiences covering coaching legends Don Shula, Joe Torre, and Tom Coughlin, as well as conversations with people inside the Patriots organization that he doesn’t expect Belichick to be fired.
He expects that it will be the team’s decision to move on, and that Belichick will disagree with it, but ultimately an announcement will be made attempting to honor Belichick before moving on.
