Bill Belichick’s resume might speak for itself.
But despite the eight total Super Bowl rings that he boasts from his time with both the Patriots and Giants, the future Hall-of-Fame coach isn’t going to be patrolling an NFL sideline in 2024 — at least not in a head-coaching capacity.
While the case can be made that Belichick hasn’t lost his fastball when it comes to his preparation and command on the defensive side of the ball, his desire to be involved on the personnel side of football operations reportedly steered several teams away.
“Sources with multiple teams that just hired new head coaches expressed varying degrees of relief Belichick wasn’t joining their team,” The Athletic’s Jeff Howe wrote in a column published Friday detailing Belichick’s failed job search this offseason.
