Since 1975, Bill Belichick has served as an NFL coach for the last 48 years. Since taking over as head coach in 2000, Belichick has led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl victories.
After Tom Brady’s departure from New England in 2020, things eventually hit a tough patch for the team and Belichick. In three of the previous four seasons, they had a below .500 record. Following the 2023 season, Belichick and New England split ways, and many predicted the 71-year-old coach would be in high demand on the open market.

That turned out not to be the case, as Belichick was passed over for any of the eight available head coaching positions. The three-time AP Coach of the Year will now have to wait until 2025 to get the opportunity to take over as an NFL team’s head coach.
Belichick will still be involved with football even after leaving the NFL in 2024. The University of Nebraska football team, under the direction of head coach Matt Rhule, stated on February 21 that they would hold spring football clinics for coaches and players. This clinic has guest speakers, with Belichick headlining the lineup.
The “X&O” clinic in April will feature the former head coach of the New England Patriots as the headline speaker. When you get Belichick away from football, according to those close to him, he’s really engaging and amusing. These young football players and coaches have a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the finest coaches in the sport’s history.
