Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Interesting fact: there have been 511 head coaches in the NFL, all time. THREE (3) of them have coached into their 70s. 1) George Hallas 2) Marv Levy 3) Pete Carroll Pete has only done it for one year, as he turned 70 this season. Hallas and Levy are the only 2 guys IN NFL HISTORY to coach for multiple years into their 70s. Bill Belichick is 69 and turns 70 in April. The data suggests that the grind of being an NFL head coach catches up to you in your late 60s and these guys just can't do it much past that. What do you think?

ColoradoBills Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm thinking he retires at halftime of Saturday's game. If that doesn't happen, I think he is all in with money and future picks for one more try next season. 5 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 38 wins away from topping Shula as the all time winningest coach. He's HUGE on the history of the NFL. Even if it would seem he wouldn't care less I believe he stays until he breaks that mark.

GunnerBill Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think he will coach next year and the following year so long as his health stays good. Can see him retiring before they have to make any kind of decision on Mac. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think it's more another SB (without Brady) than the overall win record. He's not stupid, he knows if he doesn't;t win one without Brady there will always be that question about him. Brady proved he could do it on his own last year and if Belichick were to win one in the next couple of year I think he'd ride off into the sunset right after 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him getting that record with the immediate outlook for the team. He isn't guaranteed 10+ win season like in the old days. I can see him trying to win a SB without Brady as some have mentioned, but I don't see that coming close to happening without a QB, and NE may not get another good for a decade. Who knows? They don't grow on trees, and Brady was found by dumb luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure you are suggesting a trade for someone like Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson. Problem is the Pats picks are as attractive as say the Saints or a couple other teams.

Making trades and using some future picks too. It's just my opinion.

Utah John Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 He'll coach until they pry the hoodie from his cold dead fingers.
