The New England Patriots have experienced their third losing season and missed the playoffs for the third time in four years, raising questions about whether owner Robert Kraft will consider a coaching change. Bill Belichick has served as the head coach and de facto general manager of the Patriots since 2000.
According to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe, Belichick's desire is to continue as the head coach of the New England Patriots in 2024. Volin noted, "I'm told Belichick doesn't want to leave New England, but he doesn't control his fate; Kraft does."
It's widely known that Belichick's contract with the Patriots extends through 2024. If Kraft decides to make a coaching change, he could explore options such as trading Belichick to another team instead of terminating his contract outright, which would provide some compensation.
The Patriots, with a record of 3-11, will aim to play spoiler when they face the playoff-hopeful Denver Broncos on Sunday.
