Greg Bedard of Boston Sports Journal and Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston suggesting that Belichick could be fired or "let go" if the Pats lose to Arizona. They been talking about it on NBC Sports Boston and Felger and Mazz all afternoon.
What do you guys think? Has Belichick used up all his credit from six Super Bowl wins? Is Kraft going to give Belichick the flick? We're an impatient and intolerant bunch here in Boston these days
Please don’t give this kind of trash clicks/eyeballs by posting it here. It is why it is written. If this happens I will give you a Tommy point every day for a year. But otherwise just no….
If it happens I'd like a Tommy point every hour for a year
That being said, it's turning into a big story here in Boston. Not among the beat reporters who have to talk to Bill every week but the analysts and talking heads are coalescing around the narrative that Kraft might be open to a change (for the good of both parties) if the Patriots miss the playoffs again this year. Especially if Bill doubles down on his coaching team of Patricia and Judge. Not that he would fire him, but that he might either be eased out or Bill may decide to just call it quits and go to Nantucket instead of presiding over a rebuild. Peter King from MMQ brought it up too.
Personally I can't see it happening, but if they miss the playoffs and end up with a losing season I'm sure that would create some pressure.
