FOXBORO, Mass. — Longtime Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has reportedly “expressed doubt” to members of his staff about his future in New England.
Despite recent victories over the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, Belichick has started expressing doubt to his assistants about remaining in Foxboro beyond his team’s regular-season finale against the New York Jets on Jan. 7, 2024, Mike Giardi of The Boston Sports Journal reported.
“Speaking of Belichick, he has expressed doubt about his future in New England to the staff at various points over the last few weeks. To the best of my knowledge, he has yet to sit down with ownership,” Giardi wrote.

In response to the questioning, Belichick repeated, “I’m getting ready for Kansas City.”
Belichick has already solidified himself as arguably the best coach in NFL history, guiding the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories while cementing the franchise as one of the best dynasties the sport has ever seen.
