With the team inching closer to a top-two pick in the upcoming draft next spring, the opportunity is there to completely change course. The Patriots did manage to win a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks ago, but it remains clear that changes are necessary. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen, and reporting since then has softened that position.
Curran reported last week on NBC Sports Boston, owner Robert Kraft made the decision to part ways with Bill Belichick following an embarrassing loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany. It is important to note that two of the coaches we discussed in that piece - Frank Reich and Brandon Staley - have already been relieved of their duties.Ĭould one of these coaches be next? Bill Belichick, New England PatriotsĪccording to at least one report, the decision has already been made. We last did this ahead of Thanksgiving, when we graded head coaches based on how cooked they were at the time.
So it is probably a good time to revisit the coaching hot seat discussion. We are nearing both the end of the calendar year, as well as the end of the NFL regular season.
