Does Bill Belichick plan on coaching next season?

I’m not sure anyone really thought Belichick was going to retire, but at least he’s on record making it clear that he has zero intention of calling it a career.

Besides, Belichick simply can’t go out with his final game being a blowout loss to an AFC East rival. Great coaches hold grudges and they get even.

Anyone who thinks he’s not already scheming up ways to beat Buffalo next season is kidding themselves. He probably started game planning the moment the clock hit zero.

Why? Well, champions don’t take days off.

Bill Belichick will eventually put down his clipboard and call it a career, but it certainly won’t be within the next year.
