Tedy Bruschi believes Bill Belichick should retire after 2023 season

A Patriots legend and one of Bill Belichick’s most loyal captains out on the gridiron believes that the longtime New England head coach needs to walk away from the sidelines after the 2023 season.

Speaking on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, former Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi said that Belichick needs to pull out all the stops to get New England back to some level of respectability after a miserable 1-4 start to the 2023 season.

But once this current season comes to a close, Bruschi thinks that his coach needs to step away — rather than continue to chase Don Shula’s record for the most coaching wins in NFL history.
