Bill Belichick is a legendary HC in the NFL who’s been part of the New England Patriots dynasty. However, his legacy will soon be in question if he fails to perform for yet another season. According to Patriots and NFL insider, Tom Curran, Belichick is currently on the hot seat and will probably be fighting for his job next season. Although this is completely astonishing it has been the case since 2019.

Curran recently featured on the Rich Eisen Show and spoke about the pressure Belichick has been in since the departure of Tom Brady in 2019. He believes that the Patriots management are asking for immediate results from him.“You talk about avoiding the hot seat. Rich: he’s on the hot seat, and he’s been there at different levels of warmth since 2019,” Curran said. “Kraft has pointed out a number of times, ‘I’m anxious. I want results.’ And he’s not getting them,”

Brady departed the Patriots after establishing a successful and unbeatable dynasty with them. Although many thought that Belichick will handle the boat after his departure, the ship was suddenly extremely hard to manage. The Patriots have failed to have a lasting impact in the NFL since the legendary QBs departure and have been the second-best or the third-best team in the division.

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady had a lengthy conversation in 2019 and couldn’t agree on suitable terms. It was reported by Tom Curran that Brady desired a 2-year guaranteed contract but the Patriots weren’t willing to offer it. It was also reported that Belichick was prepared to lose Brady who later moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl with them in his first year.

“Look at it this way. In 2019, Tom Brady wanted a two-year $50 million guaranteed contract just like Drew Brees had. He presumed he was gonna get that,” Curran said. “In training camp, it was still not forthcoming, and he was like, ‘You know what, if I don’t get this thing, I’m walking out.’ It was explained to Belichick that was the case. They got something done. It was not a two-year guaranteed contract. It was two years with a team option.”

Currently, Bill Belichick is managing a Patriots team that is completely different from their Super Bowl-winning team. The New England-based team don’t have a starting QB and have been choosing between Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe.
