Back in 2009, Bill Belichick predicted he would not be coaching into his 70s. Appearing on the first ever episode of NFL Films’ A Football Life documentary, he instead mentioned that his career would probably come to an end before his 70th birthday.
That day is today, and yet Belichick is still leading the New England Patriots as their head coach. He also is not showing any signs of slowing down, which is quite the contrast to his statements made 13 years ago.
“I won’t be like Marv Levy and coaching in my 70s, you won’t have to worry about that,” he said at the time.
