Bill Belichick has 300 career wins, good for 3rd of all time behind only George Halas (318) and Don Shula (328).
He has six Super Bowl rings - clearly more than any other coach in the SB era, but also tied with Halas and Lambeau for 2nd-most total Championships, behind only Paul Brown (7).
He has 9 Conference Championships, most ever by a wide margin.
He is 0.705 in the playoffs, 2nd-most of any active HC (Zac Taylor leads at 0.714).
He is tied with Shula for most total playoff appearances at 19 (Andy Reid will join them this year as the Pats will not be in this years playoffs and the Chiefs will)
He has coached 44 playoff games, six more than the 2nd-best (Andy Reid).
He has 31 playoff wins, 9 more than the 2nd-best (still Andy Reid).
It’s perfectly fine to be frustrated with the path that the Patriots are on. But talk of firing Bill Belichick? That’s like firing John Wooden or Nick Saban or Fielding Yost after 2 or 3 bad seasons. Not only is it disrespectful to them and everything they have done, but it’s disrespectful to the entire history of the sport.
Get real.
Belichick will probably coach until he hits 329 wins for most ever.
He sucks now
Excuse me for not giving a fuck about the “history of American Football.” Lol.
This is a bad take. Yes, he’s a HoF coach and arguably one of the goats. Admittedly I’ve paid 0 attention to the Pats this year but who knows, maybe it’s time for a change of scenery. Whatever is going on over there isn’t working, and bringing in the first new fresh set of eyes in 23 years probably sounds pretty enticing to ownership and fans alike.
He’s old and out of touch. He needs to retire.
Belichick would have to coach another five years of 6-10 to hit another 28 wins. Nobody should be getting that long of a leash being that bad.
Especially when Belichick only has himself to blame for the situation he is in. Even if he is still a good coach he is a terrible GM at this point. If he cannot give up the GM role the Patriots have no path to success. And with no path to success they have no reason to keep him around.
Except the NFL is a what have you done for me lately business. It’s ruthless. If he doesn’t want to get fired, quit. I do think Kraft will give him that option.
