Today at Gillette Stadium, the Patriots suffered the ultimate heartbreak! Following the 4-13 defeat against the New York Jets, coach Bill Belichick’s future remains doubtful. Additionally, this season has been particularly catastrophic for the Patriots ever since Tom Brady bid farewell to the team. With the playoffs out of reach, the disappointed Belichick appeared uncertain about what lay ahead.

Bill Belichick appeared in a post-game conference to discuss the challenges in today’s matchup. In the latest video from the New England Patriots YouTube Channel, Belichick showed his “disappointment” about Week 18’s result and wished the team could make their place to win.
He emphasized that it has been a disappointing year for coaches, staff, and the organization, and he looks to be out of words. Further, he hinted at his future by saying, “As far as the future goes, I’ll sit down with Robert as I do every year at some point at the end of the season” and discuss how things are set to happen.
As the discussion went on, suddenly, a panelist tried to confirm if Belichick would continue to coach in the future. The experienced coach candidly replied that he was “disappointed” by “the way the game finished.” The statement showcased that Belichick seemed uncertain about his future as a coach for the Patriots and that the ultimate decision would rest with Kraft.
A meeting between the two is expected to be scheduled for Monday to discuss Belichick’s further with the squad.
