Report: New Details Emerge On Bill Belichick’s Coaching Career

Changes are really common in the NFL, and things can change overnight. In the past season, the New England Patriots faced a bunch of new rumors, and each of them was based on quarterback Tom Brady, head coach Bill Belichick and tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Everyone was talking about the tension between Brady and the head coach, and some said that Gronk may retire.
However, none of that happened, and the Patriots are 9-3 at the moment. They are heading towards another awesome playoff run. MMQB’s Albert Breer said that this season was a great boost for Bill Belichick, and that is of great importance for the years that follow.

“I would have told you a year ago based on people that I was talking to that Belichick could kind of see the end. You got the sense that maybe a couple more years, maybe he gets to an even 20 and walks away after the 2019 season. I’m not getting that sense at all anymore. You talk to people in that building this year, the tension of last year is gone. The relationship with Brady isn’t perfect, but it’s a lot better than it was last year. And there are people I talk to there that think he could go another four or five years easy based on how energized he’s been this year, based on how passionate he is about his job,” Breer said.

“And here’s the other thing, he’s a little like (Nick) Saban in this way too: When you have things set up the way Bill Belichick has them set up in Foxboro, you really don’t have to work as hard because part of the operation becomes turnkey. That doesn’t mean he’s working less diligently or he’s less prepared than he’s been in the past, but naturally when you’ve been in a place for as long as he’s been and you’ve got things set up the way you want them, it becomes a little easier to run things and that would enable you to coach at an older age. So I don’t get the sense that Belichick is walking out of there tomorrow at all.”
