Bill Belichick turned 70 this spring, and this week he begins his 48th season in the NFL and 23rd as the head coach of the New England Patriots.
So maybe he’s just bored. Or just trolling the media again. Or just enjoying some harmless fun while exploiting a loophole or two even if there is minimal gain.
What is known is that Belichick has refused to name either an offensive or defensive coordinator for the Patriots this year and apparently won’t do so. On Tuesday, at the start of training camp, he would only confirm his job.
