The New England Patriots have dropped a hint on who their next head coach could be once the legendary Bill Belichick decides he's done at Gillette Stadium.
At 70 years old, Belichick is one of the oldest head coaches in NFL history, and has seemingly not yet decided he will retire anytime soon, despite the Patriots looking like they're a number of key moves away from competing for a Super Bowl once again. Having won six Super Bowls with the Patriots, Belichick will deservedly go down as one of the greatest head coaches of all-time, but has been questioned in recent years after the exit of Tom Brady.
After the quarterback left in 2020 to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Patriots have made the playoffs once and missed out twice. Should another disappointing season follow, Belichick may decide to hang it up after what has been a tremendous coaching career, and could already have his replacement lined up.
