Bill Belichick wants to be back on an NFL sideline in 2025 — as a coach.
The former New England Patriots coach is “fully invested” and “intends to coach in 2025,” NFL Media recently reported.
After parting ways with the Patriots in January, Belichick wasn’t able to find a new home this offseason. Seven other teams passed on hiring him as their head coach, with the Atlanta Falcons being the only team to formally interview him.
The lack of interest in Belichick, who coached the Patriots to six Super Bowl wins, might be surprising to some. But FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd isn’t shocked based on his track record in the previous two seasons, which saw the Patriots go 12-22. Belichick also ran football operations in New England, but Cowherd said he wouldn’t want to hire the highly-accomplished coach if he insisted on building the roster due to his “terrible” drafting in recent years.
In fact, Cowherd believes he can narrow down Belichick’s next possible coaching home to three teams based on what he’s heard from his NFL sources.
“The Beli-check list in my opinion, from what I’ve heard, are three teams: Philadelphia, Dallas and Buffalo,” Cowherd said on a recent edition of “The Herd.” “I’ve heard two things about Belichick, and I trust my sources on this: He would rather stay out East He [has] got his place in Nantucket. He golfs down in Jupiter, Florida, and Bill doesn’t have any interest [in] moving everybody out West.
“The second thing, he would like the quarterback situation to be stable. The instability post-[Tom] Brady was his downfall [in New England]. There’s nothing more stable than Dak [Prescott] and Josh Allen. Jalen Hurts, we’ll wait and see, but my guess is he’ll rebound and have a better year. “
