The New England Patriots will visit the White House to celebrate their thrilling Super Bowl victory on April 19th. However, they might not all return to the Patriots after the visit. President Donald Trump revealed today he will offer head coach Bill Belichick the job of National Intelligence Director. It's unclear whether Belichick will accept the role, but his comments indicate he is considering the position.
Trump and Belichick are friends, with Belichick even writing a Trump a letter during his campaign for President. Belichick said he considers Trump a friend.
"Our friendship goes back many years," Belichick said. "Anybody who’s spent more than five minutes with me knows I’m not a political person. My comments are not politically motivated. I have a friendship and loyalty to Donald."
As for Trump, he claims that Belichick has expressed his love for him.
"So I go to the Patriots game last year," Trump said. "I'm on the sidelines with Kraft. He’s got a lot of different people. And Belichick comes over in his Patriots sweatshirt and the hoodie and the whole thing. He hugs me, and he kisses me, and he said: 'I love you. You’re the greatest.' He just feels warmly toward me, Belichick does. Isn’t that the craziest thing?"

If Belichick accepts the role, he would replace the recently hired Don Coats as Intelligence Director. Trump believes the Belichick has the necessary experience, apparently alluding to Spygate.
"[Bill has] clearly demonstrated the deep subject matter expertise and sound judgment required to lead our intelligence community," Trump said. "[he'll] provide unwavering leadership ... and spearhead my administration's ceaseless vigilance against those who seek to do us harm."
Belichick and Trump also hope to reacquire Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring that Russian president Vladimir Putin currently owns.
