After decades of success with superstar quarterback Tom Brady at the helm of the New England Patriots, the storied franchise has started to struggle, with the team currently in the conversation for being the worst team in the NFL right now, even with legendary head coach Bill Belichick still calling the shots on the sideline.
It seems clear at this point that the Patriots got it wrong with quarterback Mac Jones, and now the light is starting to get shed on Belichick and whether he’s still a great NFL head coach because his track record since Brady left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers doesn’t show it.
Things have gotten so bad for Belichick in New England this season that many have started to wonder if he’ll make it through the season without getting fired by longtime team owner Robert Kraft.
Some wondered if Belichick would even be on the same plane back from Germany if the team lost to the Indianapolis Colts over the weekend.
With the Patriots seemingly spiraling out of control, former NFL star turned analyst Shannon Sharpe shared his thoughts on the veteran head coach and how he believes Belichick needs to be held accountable, via Nightcap.

At this point, it is anyone’s guess whether Belichick will still have a job after the 2023 NFL season ends for the Patriots, which will be over the second the game finishes against the division-rival New York Jets on January 7.
Even though there’s been talk of Belichick having signed a contract extension during the offseason, the team is going nowhere, and Kraft has to be thinking about the franchise’s future.
